Neat attachment. I have some images of the instructions and pdf for the hand crank. The images of the pinker attachment instructions are at
http://www.newenglandsimpleliving.co...structions.htm April 1930s might have a pdf and I think youtube may have a couple of videos of the pinking attachment. I just googled "singer pinker attachment instructions" You could also try "singer pinking attachment instructions."
From my understanding there were actually two pinking attachments. The newer one has the allen wrench type tool for holding the gears to clean or change the blade while turning the thumbscrew in front of the blade. I have an older one that just has a nut and no place to stop the gear to change the blade. It didn't come with instructions so I haven't yet tried to get it apart.
I'm not sure if it will work with the extra long presser foot screw from sew-classic or not. I haven't tried it on the pinking attachment but it works as a stitch lever for my 1902 15k26.
Also, IIRC the thumbscrew to remove the blade is a reverse thread in that you actually turn it to the right (clockwise) to loosen. (I think there is an arrow on it)
