But the machine is a 128 with an aftermarket motor (maybe because of the difference in electrical) and it looks to be the Godzilla finish which could be a factory refurbish job. If it is it will have a marking on the serial number boss to let you know.
Well worth the $40!

Are these machines typically heavy? Penni[/quote]
Penni,
The 99k weighs in at about 35 pounds.

I'm no expert, but looks from the serial number it is a 99K, 30,000 allotted Dec. 3, 1937. Manufactured in Clydebank Scotland. I am not sure but it appears the motor may need to have a converter to our electrical system.
Pretty machine. :-D[/quote]
it looks like the motor is a 220 volt., if so then you need a voltage converter if you live in USA or Canada.

Lets see if it is here:

Oh have fun looking this is a very long list!!!

I actually found the manual I was looking for - Hooray!
Now I'm going to see about printing it off, if I can.
Thanks so much for your help.

Charlee, I thought that was the Smithsonian website that Billy had listed the link for. Is there another link I should try?
Also, I tried to print the manual, and one page is so enlarged, it took three 8 1/2 x 11 pages to print. Not really wanting to do that with a 60 page manual. Is there some other way?
Edit: Went back to see if I could download, and found nothing to indicate it was possible. What should I be looking for?
