Default My find-Franklin Kenmore 81748

OK, I have found another vintage sewing machine, this time it is a Franklin, I know it is a Kenmore, but it is an exact copy of the Singer 127. I am in need for the front bobbin cover or front shuttle slide as it is called. It was an old treadle but has been modified to use electric. It sews but can't wind bobbins for the belt don't match up with the bobbin winder. I am going to have to try to figure out how to wind the bobbins. It is in great shape, I have cleaned it up best I could. I am afraid to do much with the decals. I have oiled it good and cleaned it up since the Pic's. These Pic's show it as I got it. The number 81748 is under the front part of the machine. I am posting Pic's of it as well. If anyone has any input please let me know, Granny
