(The attachment box says part for a 403, but the manual says 500 series) It has quite a bit of chips on the paint and really needs a good cleaning, and needs a new faceplate, since the current one is broken out at the top pin.
Luv2learn, I have a 503a Rocketeer. If Billy doesn't carry the parts, I picked up all the cams on e-bay. Also, got the book, monogramming attachments, buttonholer attachment, more feet all off E-Bay. The attachments and cams say 403. All the 400 series attachments and cams work on the 500 series machines. You are going to love your Rocketeer, it is a really fun machine to play with. I watch e-bay and still pick up a new cam (old really) once in while with a stitch I didn't have already.
