I was actually about to give up in trying to find the owners manual, I was able to find the threading and oiling diagrams but never could go any farther. I found this site a few days ago, found the Relics site and boom, there was the manual. I paid $10 for the digital download and had it on my desktop in ten minutes.
I am still combing through the manual and did find the section about the straight stitch plate and foot, I'll be looking into getting those as soon as I can, but from the picture, it looks as if the hole for the needle is in the middle position. I'd like to find all the accessories for this machine eventually, it's always too neat to see one of these babies with all the accessories :-)
