I am trying to save this machine and clean it up . It is very dirty and probably hasn't been used in years. If you know any thing about it I could use the help. I have no manual for it. But I need to get one. All I got was the machine. I bought it at the goodwill. I gave $10.00 for it. It was sitting in a corner looking sad so I took it home with me. It works but need oil and a very good cleaning. Was this a good buy?
thank you,

I just replied to your question on the yahoo groups. Oops.
I told you to check here too. looks like you already did.
Finding the right cams for any of these old Japanese zigzag machines can be painful. There just isn't a lot of information on what fits what. I started a cam thread here a while back trying to help with the problem but it hasn't developed into a good resource yet.
