Sewing & Me
I have been collecting sewing machines since late 2011 when I pickup a old Singer 128 portable unit made in 1951. After that other units have found there way to my home.
My newest sewing machine is a 1960s Montgomery Ward URR 273 unit that was made in Japan by a company called Happy. This unit is very powerful but that is only when it has a working belt (had to borrow from my Singer StyleMate 237.) It has plastic pattern disc that allow for some basic zig-zag design. The disc are ok but could have been made of high quality plastic such as what was found to be true with my Singer 603 pattern disc.
One thing that I find disappointing is that not a single person was sharing this Sewing Machine manual for free, so I scanned this manual. Using ABBYY FineReader I was able to convert the text parts to digital fonts that allow for high quality printing and resizing.
Here's the user guide/manual for download:

The PDF might have errors due to the optical character recognition program. Let me know if any are really bad and I try to go back and update.
