Picked up the machine yesterday evening and it is still in the trunk of the car LOL
I am going to be doing a quilt shop hop for the next couple of days so I will post a report on how the machine works in a day or so.
I am going to have to buy some class 15 bobbins for sure as my Viking uses it's own brand of very expensive bobbins.
Thanks for the encouragement and I am still hoping someone will have a manual they would be willing to share with me

I have a question - what makes a vintage machine vintage? Seems like I see fairly new machines being called vintage. I'm asking because I think all of you have given me the bug and I want to look for another machine. Went to a few sales last week but didn't know what was vintage and what was a good price. Any help out there?

Nancy, "Vintage" is relative. For most of us, "Vintage" is pre-1970....I'd have said "pre-1960" but there are some pretty good machines from that era (The Rocketeer, etc) that I consider to be vintage as well.

Technically, the word "Vintage" should be accompanied by a year, as in: "Vintage 1950", or "Vintage 1933".
