First, welcome to the board from Minnesota. I'm sorry for the loss of your Mother. Cleaning things out can be difficult. The machine in your post is beautiful, I hope you happy memories of sewing on her.

HELLO, I JUST ACQUIRED A MODEL URR185, BUT DON'T HAVE THE OWNERS BOOK, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO COPY IT, AND EMAIL ME A COPY, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PAY YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT , MAIL YOU A CHECK FIRST OR WHAT EVER. I have posted another person on here about using a Singer 15 manual, but would prefer a MW manual, Please advise, Duane Hampton

acm,
I have one of my mothers two sewing machines. The one I have is her HOTHER ( my avatar pic ), it is very close to your mothers MW. There might be some financial value to it as it's an excellent machine. But I couldn't care less about that as to me since it was my mothers it's priceless. Gather up all it's parts, oil it good, I recommend Tri-Flow oil, and use it. You'll be surprised at how good these old machines worked.
