grey Report post Posted October 15, 2008 Just bought an old stitcher. It runs, but I don't know if it *sews*. Need a manual to tell me how to thread and use it. Found some Champion manuals online but I can't for the life of me figure out what model of machine this is. Hopefully someone can shed some light...

grey Report post Posted October 15, 2008 Some of the non-painted parts on the front are engraved with the number 6164 or just the number 64. The only identifying marks cast into the frame are on the little bracket that holds up the thread spool tray. The number 600 is cast into it. The name "Champion" is painted on one side, as well as some letters that I think might say "PATENTED" underneath it. On the same side, up near the top, is the admonition "Do not put oil in the wax". The manuals I have found so far are for: Champion 30 & Pearless (narrow throat) Champion 50 & 52" stitchers Champion 77 McKay Champion Harness Stitcher (wide throat) The machine is about 26" tall.

grey Report post Posted October 15, 2008 OHboy! Tomorrow I order my manual. Gosh, I sure hope the machine can be coaxed into stitching for me. The very idea of not having to hand-stitch everything makes me quite giddy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
