Thanks Charlee! sometime looking for stuff on line leaves me feeling like road kill on the information highway! and I should have saved myself a lot of wasted time and asked here sooner.
Get in touch with CD (ThayerRags)...I know he has a ton of donor machines from his post on another thread...I bet he'll be able to help you! :)

You're welcome! CD would be a good guy to deal with, I'd think! I haven't gotten anything from him...yet...but I wouldn't hesitate to do so if need be! :)

My Belair 929 (circa late 1950s?). Billy thinks she was made by Morse. She's a "dirty girl" and has seen a lot of use judging from the wear on the front of the bed. The foot controller was cut off and I had an EUREKA moment when I realized that I did have a foot control that came with the Plymouth, a model 15 Japanese clone, that I purchased last July. I plugged her in and she runs. Now to begin the deep cleaning and oiling she needs. BTW, a manual came with her. Whoohooo!
What is the red plastic thing in the shuttle case?
I think I will name her Marilyn after Marilyn Monroe.

If the "red thing" is felt, then it's an oil wick...just a drop of oil on it is good...

Nope, not felt. It is hard, red plastic. Never have seen that before.

I almost paid $9 for a manual for my vintage Pfaff 1222 and more $$ for another Pfaff I just purchased. I'm glad I didn't!! I hunted and hunted and found this site with quite a few free manuals to download for many Pfaff Models. http://s2.vsmgroup.com/VSM/Pfaff/pfaffmanual.nsf
