So, of course I pick up my pace. The lady was selling it for $10 without the power cord; it did have the foot petal cord. She was very apologetic that it didn't have the cord. I told her that is ok, I'll still take it. After I got home, I dug through my discarded motors box and pull out a cord with the correct adapter. I'm in business!

I thank whoever talked about the sewing lid holding the box of attachments. I really dig the way that contraption operates and tucks away nicely.

See Nancy, I now have two machines that I will not be treadling.

You can get a manual but the machine comes with instructions on the cover plates. The thread diagram is on the nose door and the stitch selection info is on the door under the spool holders. Free manual:http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...ng-machine.pdf free service manual - it starts at page 125 and goes until the end: http://parts.singerco.com/IPsvcManuals/306W25.pdf I found good bobbins, attachments, wires, tri-flo oil at sewclassic and she has good prices and good service. Jenny has a lot of info about the machines on her site.
