Looking for information:
 

Where can I find what machine I have? it is a E 494 866 Also part of the bobbin winder broke off the machine. My bobbin winder is on top. Where can I look for replace parts? The sites I have looked at did not show any bobbin replacements, also I can never get the model number to come up.

You have to post a picture. Unfortunately a list of the E-series is missing on the ismacs site, the closest I come is E numbers began in 1908, and by 1910 it was on to F.

A picture would help narrowing down which machine you have.

It really depends on what parts you want and which machine it is.

If it is a Singer sewing machine:
Have you tried http://www.sandman-collectibles.com/...r-machines.htm if it is a Singer?
Have you looked on needlebar to see if you can identify your machine

Try Bonanza for parts if can't find on ebay
