I am looking for a manual and information on a sewing machine I found at a habitat for humanity store. It is a model fa-6724. I do not know the brand and I am having a really hard time researching any information on it. It is marked that it was manufactured as an industrial strength sewing machine made for schools. I would really love to find a manual and any repair related information books, websites, tutorials, instructions etc.. thank you in advance for your help!

    Thank you so very much! I have tried to order this once. It also was the only one I have found so far. Unfortunately it was no longer available. But I should try to call and see if they can possibly get another or if by chance have gotten it back in.

    I so appreciate the tip I am trying to use your information! It does have a R on the stitch length dial. So far I have not found a picture quite comparable. It however also has a tag on the front American Sewing Machine Company Richmond VA. I have not been able to find this company yet on google. I also would like to update my post with an actual picture of the machine. Perhaps someone could help me find something that would be quite similar to it and I could use its manual for comparison. I am not sure why I am so intrigued but I am fascinated with all the new history and knowledge I am learning about creation of the sewing machine and the mechanical progression!

Possibly a Tacony FA6724 which I believe is a rebrand Riccar. Google search " riccar sewing machine" and compare pictures to yours.

There's a website called managemyhome.com which is sponsored by Sears. It's free to join. Go to the Home Manager column and choose Owner's Manuals from the drop down menu.

You can type in the brand name (Kenmore) and model number of your machine. Not all of them are in there but, I did find the one for the 1950280 question. It's a pdf file.

For the 38516764 question, please double check your model number. I received either no response or a Kenmore Elite dishwasher manual in response to my query.

No owners manual?

Hi there!Happy Sewing Machine Mfg. Co. exported sewing machines worldwide. In 1955, Montgomery Ward took over the company. I found a phone number for the current owner of company: TEXMAC/ITOCHU and a technician's number: 704-393-6557. I could not locate a Toll Free number. These were originally Japanese exports and later they were manufactured, I believe, in Taiwan, so this is a good, solid (I assume all metal?) machine. That sounds like a great vintage find, and I hope you realize that you probably don't have to do much to get her smoothly singing along! If you have some sewing experience, I am sure you will find it pretty similar to today's models and the only real difference will be that it probably has belts (easy to replace if cracked), and is probably a real workhorse compared to the plastic models in today's market. I hope you can locate a manual, and much happiness with your HAPPY Sewing Machine :)JimmyI hope you found this helpful

Necchi 525 FA model

This site (www.sewusa.com) sells manuals for many types of sewing machines. It also has a section (on left side of home page) that provides basic information about treading (bobbins too) and repair.

I also own a 525 FA and just read that someone considers it is a piece of junk. I'm having problems with the tread breaking constantly (with many hours spent on this problem) and I even have a manual! Perhaps it is a piece of junk?

Good luck!

My sewing machine is a Tacsew FA-860

Tacony is a trade name and not the make, the name took over from Montgomery ward when the stores where in business, they were taken over by Sears and now owned by the Tacony group, the chances are your machine was made by one of the major manufacturers such a Juki,Brother, or one of many others, the best thing to do is to take one of your needles to a dealer to match it up, have a look all over the machine, you may find a manufactures name somewhere, not good chances of getting a book.
