Your machine is a Model 66, 1 of 35,000 allotted May 5, 1928.

BOBBINS:

However you can use the Class 66 plastic bobbins if you have them.

ACCESSORIES:
Accessories and presser feet are Low Shank design.

LUBRICANTS:
MACHINE;
Singer sewing machine oil or equivalent.

MOTOR;
Singer motor lube in the tube grease.
If that can’t be found use petroleum jelly as a substitute.
Do not use any synthetic or high temperature grease in the motor.
( Nova Montgomery sells an equivalent lube here: { http://www.novamontgomery.com/shop/S...t-x4312153.htm }
I haven't tried it yet, but at least one other QB member has.

The manual can be found as a download at { http://www.singerco.com/support/instruction-manuals }


Hope this helps some.
