I have to Dome top machines. That is the key hole. Try to pick it if you can't, my key fits both of ours, maybe we could send you one.
1 of our is hand crank and the other one is electric. Both work and our Gorgeous, we LOVE them both.
Guess I should have read further before I posted.
She is BEAUTIFUL! Hand crank, Whoo Hoo!!!

Lucky you. The little hole look like a key hold. Don't let DH destroy the box.

The case is heavy so I know there is a machine in there! But I have no idea how to open the case!! Any suggestions? DH wants to break up the box ( over my dead body!) So while he's at work please help me!!

Thank you!
You should be able to use a very small screw driver to open the top.

I'll take that over the ISMACS list...even tho I have TONS of respect for the experts at ISMACS!
Awww.... You just made my little heart do a happy dance! Got nothing against New Jersey!! But I am delighted she was made in Scotland! That is very special for me for a myriad of reasons! Thank you Charlee!
:) I'm glad I could help! I know what you mean about Scotland...when I found out that my 28K was made in Clydebank I was THRILLED! My mother's family came to the states from PEI, and Scotland before that...her maiden name was MacKenzie. ;)

My children's great great grandmother was Annie MacKenzie from PEI. Maybe they're relatives of yours

:) I'm pretty sure they are...my g-g-grandmother was Mary Ann Aitken, married to Alexander MacKenzie on PEI, all three of their children were born on PEI, before they moved to Southern California, sometime around 1890.
We should talk! :lol:
