I hate to admit this, but I haven't used it in a long long time. Lately, I've been wanting to, but not sure where I would move it to be able to use it. Right now it is in the room with my uncle. It does stitch a beautiful straight stitch. Now that I seem to be doing more quilting than garment sewing, I think I would love using it.
Congratulations on your lucky purchase! You were indeed fortunate to get so much with it too. I don't recall ever having a manual for mine. Not much else came with it that I recall either. It is sad when people only want the cabinet and not the machine. How little they realize that these machines are worth their weight in gold.
Golly, I learned something, didn't know you could lower the feed dogs on it!

I have more machines than I have good sense. Perhaps it's because I am getting older myself, but the vintage machines are definitely becoming more sacred to me as the years pass.
They are much more reliable, sew better, are easier to maintain and have less to go wrong. So, of all the machines I own, the old mechanical ones are swiftly becoming my favs.
