    Thank you all, it is pretty.thanks for the article Kathy. To think it sat there all these years and it wasn't until I started learning from all of you and this board that I realized what I had.

    I really want to get it running and use it to sew. It's been waiting long enough, poor little Doorstop, lol

    That is correct. Several long time collectors are working to compile "corrections" based on known machines with confirmed provenance.

    You can get all those parts you need at sew-classic!!! www.sew-classic.com You will love that machine once it is working properly. One thing I like is you don't have to look very hard to see the needle - it's right out front. I like those machines because they are easy to clean and care for, too. We have a thread on here mainly about the 15 clones but the same manuals for the clones will work for that machine. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...p-t164361.html If you dig around, Rain has info on his blog: http://vssmb.blogspot.com/

    I would name her Dora (formerly known as doorstop). She is too pretty not to be sewing again.
