these came from 2 different sales. the first one, the man's dad was a sewer and had died. said he had this little machine if I would like to see it. I looked in the box and asked what he wanted for it. $7.00.......I quickly gave him the money and ran. then we came to another one and the people were packing up as it was late afternoon. I mentioned sewing and they said they had just put a machine in the van and would get it. It was marked $10.00. Asked if that was his best price. He thought a moment and said $7.00. Again I handed over the money and ran. Both are supposed to be working, but at that price I could take the chance. Need to find a book on the Brother.

According to this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singer_Model_27_and_127

The White Number 8 is a knock-off of the Singer model 27. If you can't find a White manual, chances are the Singer 27 manual will have the information you need.
