My other great find at Goodwill yesterday.

Paid $28. For machine and case.

Does anyone else have one like this? Any idea where I can find a copy of an instruction manual for it?

It weighs a TON!!

Nice find. I am sure someone on the board will help you out. I don't have this paticular model information. But they are not complicated.

It looks like the machine my mother had in the early fifties. We three girls learned to sew on it, and it worked great. When my brother moved to Alaska, my dad built a carrying case for it, and my brother took it with him. Last year I visited my brother who now lives in Montana, and we got out that old machine, and it still sews great. You are right...it weighs a ton!!
