How many glass inserts do you have? I don't recall what the manual says came with the machine, I have 5 or 6, plus a metal insert for narrow hemming.. Looks like the spooler (bobbin winder) is missing, it was on mine too, had to find one, took me a couple of years...it goes on the front of the leg of the treadle, in the "eyelet".
What a sweet machine for a sweet price!!
I can imagine in my mind how she'll look when you're done with her!
I have seven glass feet. A couple of them are chipped, plus the narrow hemmer and several other things. I will take pictures tomorrow. There are 3 bobbins a tool and looks like a piece to measure the width of your seam with the screw. I thought that $50.00 was an absolute steal. I will check it out some more tomorrow, to look for any more patent dates.
