I bought a sewing machine yesterday because it is pretty. Sad reason, but there it is. Anyway, I'm hoping someone can give me more information, maybe even where to find an owner's manual. This machine is cast iron, looks vintage but I'm not really sure because it is made in the Republic of China. They may be still making them there... There is a serial number, but no dates. Motor was made in Japan. I haven't done anything to it yet - it will look even prettier when I clean it up. There's a picture of one of these on needlebar, and one for sale on ebay (also one already sold on ebay) but no information on any of those sites that I could find.
