Hello! I don't mean to hi-jack this thread, but I have been looking for someone with an old Eldredge. My machine is identical to the one you pictured; made in Chicago while the company was still JUST Eldredge, and BEFORE they moved to Belvadier (sp?). I am looking for a manual or a threading guide. It sounds like perhaps you use your machine? so perhaps you have one of these? Any information is greatly appreciated. BTW, my machine was in an alterations shop until just a few months ago, still being used.[ATTACH=CONFIG]535949[/ATTACH]
