I keep running across posts on different boards where folks are asking where to find a particular vintage sewing machine model's manual. For Kenmore owners it's a tough nut to crack and you may end up paying $10 or more to someone who's simply scanned in an original manual (marks, missing pages, and all), put it in a PDF and wants money in exchange for their time. Occasionally you'll find a seller who is offering the elusive original manual for sale/auction. Grab 'em when you can for those hard to find ones. And if you do score one, do the rest of us a favor if you scan it in and make the PDF available for free somewhere.
However, Singer owners - of all age machines - will happily find free PDF versions off of the Singer website. For those in the USA it's www.singerco.com. And if you can't find a version, email them, they'll get you a link or may even send you the PDF.
Here's the list of Singer Model PDFs I've downloaded for free so far:
15 and 15-91
66, 66K and 66-91
99 and 99K
101-1
201
301
Stylist 533
There are also parts manuals available for Singers, for free. I've downloaded those as well so that I can check part numbers should I need something.
My addiction is growing as I've just picked up the Stylist 533 today and will be checking out it's gears. (Apparently they're a bit prone to breakage). And I need to check inside the case to see if the table extension is hiding in there. Otherwise, this little beastie will be a free-arm machine for as long as I hang onto it. Pictures will follow soon!
