Did you put a lot of money into your "found" machine, and if so, was it worth it?
I've managed to find a free manual online, not just the product manual, but the user manual. I now need the slide plate and a pedal/cord. I can use the pedal/cord from my Stylist 457, but it doesn't really fit well enough for regular use. It was good for seeing if the machine would work! I only paid $10 for it, they had it marked at $25, but I assured them that it wasn't worth anywhere near that in it's current condition and offered them $10.
