I just came home with this cute little machine. I've been looking for one off and on and found this on craigslist, about an hour away from my house. The decals are in great shape for the most part, and the machine sews beautifully. The problem is that the slide plate over the bobbin area is missing. Anyone know where I can get one, or whether one from another machine might fit? I also need to find a user's manual. And I'm wondering if the white motor is original to the machine.

I am fairly certain that https://shop.sew-classic.com/Slide-P...-192-32569.htm will fit.

I highly doubt that it would have originally come with a white motor.

It weighs about 18 pounds with the base, 15 pounds without it, so I guess it's iron, and not a featherweight (despite the feather)? I had hoped to find an aluminum one, but I'll keep looking. I'm planning to put this one in a small cabinet with a lift anyway, if I can get a plexiglass surround for it.

See if a magnet sticks to the bed or arm, even a refrigerator magnet will work. If it sticks, it is iron and if not it is aluminum

And the answer is, it's aluminum.
