Thanks for the advice and manual...will definately come in handy. This machine is in need of a much more concise clean up than my others have needed so am looking forward to learning heaps. She's obviously not been well looked after and to my horror, on collection when I got her home I found that a goodly amount of her lovely decals were actually covered (or stuck back on ) with sticky tape that was on the verge of falling off which has now subsequently and unceremoniously done. So, her condition is not as I had hoped but I'm a sucker for an ugly puppy and do I love her! Have got my eye on another treadle on ebay so need to get Dora on the go to justify another purchase!!!!!!!! sigh....when does this ever end?
