One has the lift up top handle and the other has the lid for the accessories, but both use the same manual. The 933/953 both have 12 keys on the bottom of the pillar. I found the Hobbymatic 904-1. 919-1 and 946-1 use the same manual. The 919-1 has the lift up handle, the right number? of buttons, but no wheel on the pillar. The 946-1 has the lift up lid and has a wheel on the pillar.

I also found some other Hobbymatic manuals at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/50...matic-935.html and https://www.manualslib.com/manual/10...matic-917.html

I know Pfaff, as indicated above & others that I have, will put several models in one manual. I did not check any of the Hobbymatic 800s to see if there were any similarities or not. You might have to combine manuals to figure out the 939. If I had a Hobbymatic 939, I would probably just see if one or two of the other manuals was close enough to figure it out. If I couldn't figure out the 939, I think I would check to see if Pfaff Customer Service could help ( http://www.pfaff.com/Support-and-Updates/Support ).

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.
Did not know Pfaff had so many machines that were almost the same but still different. I looked at the 933/955 and it 'looks' like mine but will check to see if I can use any of the information.
Some 939 machines have a speed control ON the foot petal, never heard of that feature.
Will keep looking at the links you gave and from others. Sure hope I can print out enough pages to make my own manual.
Do you feel this is a good machine that will do some heavier fabric sewing, denim.

One thing today is, I took off the throat plate, as directed using the hook on the button hole foot. Now I can not get it back in place, so no test sewing.
Thank you all for giving information about this machine and will be spending time searching and printing today.
