In addition to the manual Mickey2 linked to -

and
https://c.searspartsdirect.com/mmh/l...M/L0903083.pdf I found this last one a couple years ago when I was looking for some Kenmore manuals. I thought it strange that it said Singer on it. I noticed the slant shank and thought it strange. Does your machine have the air type controller or kenmore type controller?
Maybe you can find a service manual for a similar machine.
I have been working on some of the more modern 'vintage' machines. I'm not sure if it will help or if you want but because there are so many very similar machines with different names and 'features' I'm wondering if
https://c.searspartsdirect.com/mmh/p...M/L0612394.pdf might help with feed dogs and maybe zig zag adjustment.
I have a Janome 3128 and recently a Kenmore 385.112063 that have the same innards, but different colored clothing. I was also able to find service manuals for both. They are a little different as there are gauges mentioned in one that aren't in the other.
I'm pretty sure the J foot should work. It has a groove in the bottom making it a better foot for satin and wide zigzags.
I found I liked the slant shank for regular stitching, but not for sewing buttons on, even with the correct foot.
If you find a service manual for a similar machine, I'd like to know where. I have an aunt that recently got a machine that is kind of similar so would like to add it to my 'arsenal' of service manuals.
