I have a Minnesota A, was wondering if the parts would work on yours. Lost51 might know.

very nice vintage machine. now you can go shopping for a nice cabinet to put her in. A treadle cabinet would suit her fine !
you can clean the head with Gojo hand cleaner (NOT ABRASIVE)
there are two kinds. that would clean it enough for display.If you want to use it,lots of work involved but amazing how well they turn out. if using,join the Yahoo group for White owners. all kinds of help there.

oops ! thought it was a White ! can't remember long enough to write the message. anyway, all the same applies.

looks like you could get a king size quilt in there.

What's the height? What's the distance from the needle to the right?
The harp height is 6" and the distance from the right of the needle to the right side of the machine is 7 1/2" at the bed line and 8 1/2" in the middle (the right side of the machine curves in toward the bed).

Gosh, I didn't even think of a name for her yet. My hubby is oiling her now and trying to figure out how she works. :)
google manuals & you should find one online. first check out the serial # for model, etc.

A great looking machine. Looks like it was solidly built to be used for a long time.

There is a number on the back of the needle plate, but other than that, I don't see a serial number on it - but then again, I am not sure where one should be.
