JC Penny Penncrest 2601
Hello everyone, I was recently gifted the sewing machine my mom received as her wedding present in 1987. It's a JC Penny Penncrest 2601 and made in Japan. The manual is missing and I can't seem to find any information online about it. Before anyone says google it, I've spent DAYS looking and contacting sewing shops. The only manuals are for different models that don't look similar. Is anyone familiar with one of these?
My mom showed me how to do a straight stitch, reverse and thread the bobbin. That is all she could really help me with since it's been 15+ years since she has done any projects. It has quite a few different stitches and even does buttons. I'm just not sure how to access everything.
It is currently in the shop getting its first tune-up in over 15 years, maybe ever. It's working fine though. The tech said it was a Singer made but Penncrest branded machine and Singer never put one out that looked like it.

I haven't figured out what the H L toggle does, possibly speed? The 1 2 tab will lift up but wants to be in the lower position. Under the second knob it says stretch stitch. I'm thinking I need to match color? with the knob in the pic below to change the stitch. The lever will slide and stay to either side. The current settings were giving me a straight stitch.

Has anyone worked with one of these?
