The machine makes a very nice stitch, and it doesn't make a lot of noise. I think this is a nice machine, and I can't wait to break it in.
I haven't found a free manual yet. If anyone knows where I can find one, please point me in the right direction.

Deplaylady -
Thank you so much! I thought I had scoured the Singer site, and all the manuals I found on other sites were for purchase. I thought there was surely a freebie out there and I hated to pay $12 or $15 for one.
Your machine is in great shape. Mine looks hardly used also. I thought it was unusual that such an old machine was so pristine, but hopefully I'll break it in soon. I haven't posted pictures yet; I need to do that.
Thanks again!

Here is a Singer 185K that I converted to hand crank a while back. We called it “Pistachio” because that’s the name of the paint color that I used to repaint the crank. It’s not an exact match, but was better than the original black.
We took it to a TOGA to play with it, and it ended up going home with another lady.
