Hi Laurie! Congrats on your new baby! I got a 1947 FW yesterday too and was thrilled to see how nice and shiny she was. Mine also did not have the manual - you can find them on eBay - some are original and some are copies. You will also see adjustor's manuals which are more of a service tech's reference but they look very similar. Mine also needs a new belt which I ordered from sew-classic.com, they have lots of common parts at very reasonable prices.
