JCPenney 6501 Manual
Please forgive my posting this first under the wrong thread. I am new here.
After hours of searching for any manual for this JCPenney 6501 sewing machine, along with trying to no avail to determine its manufacturer, I am hoping someone may be able to lead me to a manual for it.
The usual manual sites do not have it, so I am looking for other places or options. I have looked at Brother and other manufacturer’s machines for a similar machine, but I have not seen any twins, identical nor fraternal, so far. I have even had sewing machine collectors looking for me. Any ideas? Does anyone have this unpopular model with a manual?

Thanks Jingle. I actually did see another of these machines, locally, but it had no manual.
I found one old JCPenney ad for a model that may have been this one in a 1975 Florida newspaper with blurred writing, but I would have to pay for an expanded subscription on the newspaper archive site to be able to read the ad (and that might lead nowhere, anyway). It seems my paid subscription never allows me access to the archived newspaper items I want to see. I found a similar machine in a 1970s JCPenney online catalog, but there was no information about the manufacturer of that machine.
Surely, someone somewhere has a manual for this machine. The fact that I found two of this model locally, and that it was sold by JCPenney likely in the mid-to-late 1970s ...likely sold all over the USA, tells me there should still be manuals for it.
