I just bought a Free-Westinghouse sewing machine at a garage sale for $1.00! I cleaned it up and found that it actually works. I am looking for information on the machine. It is model 903 which is beautifully stated on a button size emblem on the front of the machine above the gold metal emblem.
The machine weighs 35 lbs (I acutally weighted it), is blue and white (light cream) and has Kayo stamped on the bottom. It states that it was manufactured by Kayo in Japan for Free-Westinghouse in Illinois.
The model number is also on the bottom along with another number 450038. It is a portable in a plastic case. The foot pedal is metal.
When I plug the machine in to the electric it begins running without my touching anything. I am not able to find a switch to turn it on and off.
I would love to know more about the machine and to be able to use it. If anyone knows anything please chime in.
Love this site by the way. Many thanks for the response and info.
