I just purchased the same machine in the pictures and have been looking everywhere for a manual. I would LOVE a copy if that's still available. I am very excited to use it but would love to know how to first.. :-)

mskey32 The last post on the thread was nearly 5 years ago. the previous posters may not be around to respond. I don't have a manual, but if you click on the link you can see some eye candy. One is labeled Wizard. Welcome aboard.

I bought my Wizard on a whim a couple of weeks ago off of the Shop Goodwill site believing it was just like my first sewing machine my parents bought me back in early 60s. I was 10 years old and had learned how to sew on my Great Aunt's Singer treadle machine. After researching and finding this article (https://customstyle.wordpress.com/tag/wizard-3kc-8842/) I am now sure this is the type of sewing machine I had. 1) I automatically knew about the magic button to switch the zig-zag. Secondly, when she said Western Auto!!! OMG! My uncle worked at the only Western Auto in Del Rio, Texas. I remember my parents telling me that it wasn't new (we were very poor) and that my Uncle, who was the manager at Western Auto, sold them the floor model on payments. This one still works like a charm! I'm going to clean up this baby and give her a prized spot in my sewing room.
