I have just purchased a model G fortuna  #16107 black skiver.really old(I will be getting a table , servo motor and foot pedal with rod ).(no vacuum).  It has no vacuum which is fine with me. I have a newer Fortuna service manual forType 50 S-A0 and 50 S -AG. The manual I have is not helping me very much. The machine seems complete except it does not have lever to raise and lower presser foot. I can look on the manual you shared on this site a few years ago and  try to match the parts numbers. I do have the parts # from  the newer catalog. I need the lever to raise and lower the presser foot.The machine came with about 20 presser feet(made in Italy) many duplicates. also a few guide bars. Can you help me? I  had a Fortuna Skiver many years ago ( From Hoffman company) and then I had a chinese copy about 20 years ago. I do not want another copy.  I bought this skiver because it is a fine machine . the parts are fine precision.  It looks like everything else is here, but I could be wrong.I took its apart I don't even know if this machine can  to clean it up and have laid out all the parts. Can you help? I would be so thrilled if you could. Please let me know. Thank you
