I have found that when I don't have a manual for something, I can do a "Bing" search, (my favorite search engine), and type the name of the product in with the keyword "manual". In your case you may need to add the keyword "english". I have always gotten results that way. This is a very old product, so may or may not get the results. By the way, the machine is a real beauty.

I can't help you with your question, but wanted to say that it's a beautiful machine and cabinet once you get it cleaned up. Contact Billy on the vintage topic. Glad you rescued it and what a great price.

I don't have time to read all of the posts on this topic right now, but I do want to say that it looks like an excellent machine to do quilting. Lots of space to push that quilt through.

The manual is, of course, all in German. I cannot tell how old it is, I am thinking maybe the 50's? It has the bobbin case and even the leather belt and wheel. I am hoping we can get her fixed up and usable again. She belonged to someone's "ex" M-I-L and was brought over in 1966 when she died. She had been stored none to carefully or gently in a garage (or perhaps an outside shed). The cabinet/table is oak and seems to be original to the machine. It, too, needs some TLC. Anyone familiar with this brand, Haid & Neu? (I did read it was taken over by Singer in 1958) Any advice on refurbishing it? These photos were taken at the time of rescue! Thanks, Patches wow...lucky.... |
Hope you get her up and running soon.

What a prize!

Wow....what a lovely find!
I wonder if this would work for you.......scan the book, put it in your computer as a pdf then translate it thru Google. Can't hurt to try. |
Great buy.

You could type the instruction and use a translator (I do this when I buy something from a store and the instructions are in another language) I go into google and look for translation websites. It should give you a general idea on how to run machine.
