Welcome to Quilting Board. The board has a forum specifically for vintage machines at
https://www.quiltingboard.com/vintag...thusiasts-f22/
The link that ibex94 linked to has a very similar manual, but I found that they are substituting a
Jones manual that is very similar. It does thread a little differently. It looks like the most of the other parts are the same. I think that your machine is like the one seen at

I'm fairly certain I can figure out the upper threading path. The bobbin threading would be like the bobbin threading illustrated at

I'm not sure what the knobs are for on the top, but I would guess that the far left would be for the pressure for the presser foot, as it looks like the fabrics are on the knob. The next one that looks like a push button,
might be for locking or unlocking the mechanism for the decorative stitches. The knob next would probably dial in the decorative stitches changing the indicator that is on the front of the machine next to the Bradford badge.
The top knob on the pillar is for the stitch length and the middle can be pushed to stitch in reverse. The lever below that is to change the needle position from
Left,
Middle or
Right position. The lever below that is for the zig zag width, with stoppers so that you can vary between different widths. The knob on the bed at the base of the pillar raises and lowers the feed dogs so that one can darn, sew silk or regular sewing.
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a
file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at

I have found that only the big

paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
