Here are pictures of some of my thrift store finds. The Necchi sews beautifully and came with all the attachments & book. The Singer is from the 70's & it sews great & has a lot of features but I have yet to figure out how to wind the bobbin which is a very different size & won't fit onto any other machine for winding & not my separate winder either.

you can view the manuals for all machines by googling the maker/model/#. then roll through the manual pages until you find the page about making bobbins. print out any pages you want. sorry about all little letters. too tired to capitalize tonight.

SWEET! I love it. Looks like it is in great condition for its age. Love these older machines. I always think "Wish it could talk & tell you what all it has heard over the years." LOL I'm very happy for you!

I found the instructions for your machine. Copy and paste this address and you'll find several helpful instructions for your machine (I think).

I have one that looks a lot like yours. The serial number on mine suggests it was made in 1935.
It has a few problems:
1. I can't get the big wheel to make the needle move. It is not frozen.
2. Where could I find the unusual thread spools? One is not enough.
This is a picture of mine before cleaning. I am working on it with kerosene.
