Randa, can you post a picture of the whole machine? It looks really cute from just the face plate.

Here you go....I have a couple more I'll send.
Randa, That machine looks like a younger Graybar. Here are some more pictures of mine for comparison. Yours looks much nicer! Did you get yours to stitch correctly for you?
I just got the threading directions from redbugsullivan, so as soon as I get a free moment I'll rethread and try again. I'm nearly positive my problem was in threading it. Who would have thought you wind the thread totally around the tension knob??!! Redbug scanned her manual for me so I no longer have to guess about it. I figure mine is from the '40's, wouldn't you think? I've been told the krinkle rough finish was from that time. Any way to know for sure??
