Ooooh, cams tooo! And free, even better. If it uses the cams it is a 306W. Did you get the instruction manual with it? You will need if not.

Be sure to use 206 x 13 needles. You'll probably have to order them online as they're a specialty item.

It is very similar to this Singer 319 machine: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...c-t162425.html
(it just doesn't have the keys) you might learn a few things - it is kind of buried in the mess here...
