Charlee, Thank you for the info on the needle for the W9. I have a little wooden Boye box with 4 new 18s in it and another one with an assortement of used needles.
And I dug a little more in the drawers and found the Manual. It is in pretty bad shape, cover is partly missing, but the threading instructions are there.. Yay!!! I would be happy to make a copy of it for you if you like....
Thanks for the encouragement on working on it.. I will try to find the supplies as described by Billy and see if I can get it to free up. There is a bit of rust on the presser foot.. dont know how that happened in the DESERT. Once I free up the movement, I think I can get it working.. It has a broken needle stuck in it now, so, it may take a little work to get it out...
