Anybody got this old machine?

What a great bunch of quilters we have here - helping each other out.
Maybe you could email the seller and find out who purchased his machine and get a copy of the instruction manual. He'd probably have to email her and get her to contact you.

I don't know but I LOVE it! It is great. You see that it has one bobbin on the threader? Can you send a pict of the back side? I thought your thread spool pin was missing, but the top doesn't easily show the hole to put it in. Could the spool go on the back side? Some do, but I dont know if it will thread with spool on the back? Humm....

Your machine is a late 50's to mid 60's machine. The Japanese were really using the Americana look back then and most machines favored the autos of the day with lots of chrome and the popular colors of the cars that were on the road.
Class 15 bobbins and the thread path should be relatively easy to figure out just connect the dots.
You can not go wrong with a machine like this at all.
