New home sewing machine 508 user manual?

Question

I have inherited a New Home Sewing Machine model 508 with no user manual. I have been in touch with Jahome and they say that it went out of prodcution over 35 yrs ago and I will not get hold of a manual. I have searched high and low on internet. Does anyone pocess a manual for a 508, and if so would they be as kind to email me a copy please?

Thanks

Try your local sewing machine repair shops... they typically have file cabinets full of manuals, taken from traded-in machines that were trashed.  Also consider asking in the yahoo group "wefixit", a group for vintage sewing machine repairs -- lots of knowledgeable people in the group.  You may find someone who recognizes that the 508 was the same as the XYZ with a couple of differences, and that the XYZ manual will do just fine for you.
