[QUOTE=J Miller;5270368]Unfortunately the owners manuals are not always present. I'm still looking for a manual for my Dial 'n Sew, Alden,
and several others.
Sooooo, we fake it.
True. Sometimes something similar is out there. Experience is a greater teacher than an owner's manual but if one is new to SM repair and can lay there hands on a manual, it seems a good idea to get one, especially with all the free manuals out there. I'll admit I am a book lover.
