My mother was telling a neighbor that she wanted to get rid of them because all they did was take up space. The neighbor said her church would love it, so when they came to pick them up the guy asked if her if by chance she could tell him how they worked, she said she could do better than that, she still had the instructions books. She even knew where the books were! This happened in 2005. Both items still worked, so the church was thrilled to get them.
She gave me her Singer machine - and yes, she still had the manual too. Which I keep with the machine.

Just contact the company. Other than Singer, many manufacturers will give you a free or low cost copy. Many have them for free on the internet in pdf files.
I recently needed a replacement manual for my Brother. They sent me a free copy (and two weeks later, I finally found my original).
The other advantage is that if you do sell your machine, people are more likely to buy a machine with a manual than without.
