I know that it is an National Model VB-TT, but I'm not sure what type. I think it is either type 1 or type 5 but I have no idea.
It's definitely not in great condition, so my goal is to try to find a manual for whatever model I have so I can fix it up correctly. It would also be nice to know how old it is. Overall I'm really glad I found this machine, it'll be a fun project to learn about.
Thanks for the help!
Here's the Needlebar page on National vibrating shuttle machines. Looks like a VB-TT type 3 to me. I have a pdf manual similar to the Eldredge B but is too large to post here. Email
[email protected] and I'll send it to you.
