sorry so late finding this thread. Did you figure it out? I have my Mom's Coronado and have no manual, but i discovered you have to hold ones of the knobs to 0, then turn the stitch length it should work. I am looking for a new belt...any suggestions?

If you need a manual look for a Brother Selectomatic, it's the same machine. Brother badged the Coronado for Gambles Dept. stores after 1954, before that they were made by National.

Cari is the expert on Brother machines. She no longer posts here. As far as I know, she still posts on VSS. If it is a Brother, as she said the regular Coronado is, she's the best one to help.

You may be able to find a manual on the FB group: Vintage Japanese Sewing Machines. Often times the same model was sold to different distributors and received a different model name -"badged as... "
You may need to search for a manual by matching the photo or drawing on the manual to your sewing machine.
