Oh, I am so embarrassed! It did not occur to me that the number was for the motor. Duh! Thank you so much for the information.
I did find a website that has manuals for all kinds and models of sewing machines.

I did find the illustration of the front and back of the machine (so many variations!!) and I ordered a manual from there; it will be a photocopy of the original. This site is great for anyone wanting a machine manual of just about any kind.
I needed the manual so I could give the machine to someone who is going to make Weighted Blankets for people with autism. The weighted blanket is used for sensory soothing. She will make them for people who can't afford to buy them.
Thank you folks who responded to my message and for your help.
