Even if it's not your model machine, the threading instructions and basic use would be similar.

In the 1960's, Riccar made a heavy duty 777 sewing machine. Riccar made machines into the 1970's. The headquarters appears to have been in Chicago before it moved offshore. Value of the machine? Maybe $100 if it worked. Parts might be found or salvaged from machines used for parts. However, here is a Riccar shop in South Carolina:

I would be doubtful regarding offers of a manual for sale for this online unless at minimum it was attached to a brick and mortar store in business (and even then might query the local Better Business Bureau).

Check with the folks at the yahoo group "wefixit" -- you may find a bobbin case there from a machine someone has parted out, or you can part out your machine. And/or check with Ron Anderson at A1 sewing: [email protected] -- he's always been helpful and has a good reputation for fast service, and telling you if something really isn't likely available and/or a machine isn't worth fixing. I've "known" him on the old usenet group alt.sewing for 20+ years, and he's always been helpful.

You can download a PDF manual from the following site. There may be a small charge but it will be worth having because you will have answers to other questions down the road. Good luck.
