TripleL,

If you have a bicycle shop near by check with them. Lots of bicyclists use Tri-Flow on their bikes. Or, order some from Sew-Classic { http://www.shop.sew-classic.com/ }
You can also get belts and other parts from Sew-Classic as well.

Don't force the machine until you get some oil in it. It sounds gummed up.

Here is a generic manual that will work for 99.5% of the clones. It's free .pdf you can download and print.

You can use regular sewing machine oil to get it moving, I've done that, but once I get it all cleaned and working I feed it Tri-Flow oil.

Without the J- A there's really no good way to tell who made it. Look on all the bobbin parts, shafts, and other small parts to see if they have numbers on them.
