I bought a Consew 206RB-5 that doesn’t have assembly instructions.

Fairly new to industrial machines, I had an old singer that turned out to be way too much for me so I bit the bullet and bought a Consew 206RB-5. It arrived in four boxes, parts aren’t really labeled, and no assembly instructions for the table setup - there’s not really even pilot holes or marks where things need to be mounted. I managed to get the legs on and get the foot petal placed but adjustable, and the motor is loosely mounted so far. I’m nowhere near turning it on, because I still can’t figure out how to mount the knee lever, the bottom guard, and the bobbin winder. There no helpful instructions or reference photos in the manual, and I found a few great videos online to help me after the table is setup and the machine runs - but I’m finding no resources for proper setup of all the external parts. I don’t even know how to assemble the thread stand, and the circular piece that holds the belt to the machine showed up disconnected. I’m in over my head, and would really love to connect with someone who has this machine or a very similar machine. All I need is a few good reference photos of one in running order, and I should be able to figure everything out. Thanks in advance, sorry this is so long. 
 

I can’t seem to upload photos either, I’m kinda new here. Working on figuring that out.

I would call the seller and get them to email you a copy of the manuals, assembly, parts, maintenance, etc as you will need them later on.

For our info, where did you buy the machine that sent it out in this condition?

Thank you, the video helped tremendously. It’s still not an exact science and at this point I’m hoping I mounted everything correctly. The machine was purchased from Amazon. Now I’m trying to make sure everything is in working order before I start running it. This has been quite the journey, and I already know I’m going to have more questions! Thanks for the help so far!

That 'splains it! I assume you got no help from the seller. That's why we recommend buying new machines from known, respected dealers, most of whom are paying advertisers on this forum. Their reputations depend on good after-the-sale service. Amazonians have no such edict. You buy, you cry! Bye!

May years ago there were kit cars sold through ads in magazines. I pitied the people who bought those things.

Good luck putting your kit machine together., I'm sure you'll figure it all out.

Reminds me of when I worked at a camera shop in the 70's.  People would buy cameras from the catalog stores or the big box stores and then bring them in and ask for help on how to use it.  Those customers would have to wait until everyone else was taken care of then we would give them some quick general information and maybe sell them some film and offer the first roll developed for free.  Many times it worked and we got some long term customers, others it wouldn't work at all.  Sometimes though my boss would get ticked off and tell them to ask for help where they bought it - that was usually when we were swamped with customers.
