Default Dressmaker 408S

I just found a dressmaker 408S at the thrift store for $12 in the cabinet with attachments, now I'm trying to find anything I can online how to use the knobs and thread it and keep coming up empty.

The C 55 A machine here looks really similar to your machine.

There are Dressmaker cams on eBay, though I don't know if they are compatible with your machine.

HI! I am also looking for manuals and information on a Dressmaker 408S that I got at a garage sale. Did you find any good info that you would be willing to share? thanks!
