Calla - Tip the machine up and look underneath it, and all around it... backside, underneath any parts that are hidden when it is in the table...

SOMEWHERE on it you should find a plate that has the manufacturer's name, the name of the machine, the model number, the serial number, etc. Just keep looking until you find that plate... it will give you all the info we need to locate a manual for you.

O.K. there is a metal label on the side that says PRECISION BUILT MADE IN JAPAN and there is another metal label on the bottom that says SERIAL #7335, I have the manual for the machine and all it says on the front is SUPER DELUXE ZIG ZAG MODEL 5100 but the funny thing is nowhere in the manual is there a copyright or on the machine, there is no pages missing in the book either. I've tryed to look up zig zag and precision built on the internet and nothings come up though

thanks,

This site has a discussion about Japanese sewing machines being clones of American machines and why they usually hid their place of manufacture and how they named the machines... it may help you.

Does your machine "look" like an old Singer? If so, this site has copies of old manuals. If yours isn't listed on this page, try browsing around the site. It has OODLES of old machines.

And here is a third option, just email the folks at this site and send them absolutely all the info you have, and if you can, send them a picture - as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!

thanks so much red confetti
