First- see if someone is selling the same one online to get a ballpark figure.\nSecond - most antique dealers will give you one.

If I were you, I'd try the Miami Industrial Sewing Machines Corporation.  That might be a good place to start.

have fun with it!!  pull out some scrap fabric and try them all, just make sure to adjust your tension from least to most, not most to least.  this can break your needle and also break the thread making it a pain in the booty.

Old sewing machine,since the present day aunties and didis are not interested in your sewing machine! for the other items,you can always exchange with the dealer for a new one for a few hundreds!

I would suggest looking up www.sewusa.com online...there you could get a manual on cd or download.  And there is also a toll-free # you could try that I found on sewing.about.com: 1-800-366-7278 for Kenmore parts and to locate a manual. (Be sure to have your model # and information ready.)

You will have to come up with a really unique differant idea, because a manual lathe is the same as labor intensive, and computer control (CNC) machines today can make a part in seconds compared to what you can do in hours,  I wish you all the luck and maybe you can come up with something. The machine you have is better for some kind of small repair work,  where someone needs a small part right now..but that isn't steady work..

go to this site and have a look, it's used but in good condition...

i would ask local shapers, they are usually your best resource for little known shapers and would estimate the value for you. Then your not as likely to get ripped off, or part with a potentially $$pricey item for a lesser price.(assuming it is "the real mccoy). sorry, couldn't resist!

You have been in the business of repairing sewing machines.\nYou do not sell that product in the extra large size.\nAlthough the refund office is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., you cannot visit the office during the lunch hour.

If this rifle is in any kind of recognizable condition, it's too valuable to take chances with. Take it to at least two reputable antique firearms dealers for appraisal. Do NOT sell it to the first dealer that makes an offer. Remember, the less they pay you-- the more profit they make when they sell it.

I've done this and it ain't easy cause everyone in the world with a sewing machine thinks they are your competitor.  \nBig picture is to have a solid marketing plan and story to tell the customer.  They get tired of hearing nonsense and big promises from companies that are here one day and gone the next.  Part of that story is how many pieces will you have each season?  How many will you keep and how many will you replace?  What's your color story?  Who are you selling to and why (prove you know how your customer is and the wrong answer is everyone)?  Know the markups at each channel level and know what it does to end price.  Can your product sell after the markups?  What's your advertising plan or do you expect them to do it all (won't happen)?\nIf you're new to the biz, find some friendly buyers, even if they won't buy from you, who will talk with you and teach you the ropes from their point of view.  Listen to each one of them like they are telling you the location of a gold mine.

A company called Concept2 makes a great rowing machine.  Here's a link to their site:\n\nhttp://www.concept2.com/05/default.asp?bhcp=1\n\nAlthough it's not the cheapest on the market it is one of the best and if you look around you can pick up a used one at a very reasonable price.  You might want to try searching Craigslist and see if they have one near you or even the local classifieds.

Doing a quick search it looks like it could be worth several hundred dollars!\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hs=OHw&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=1941+Schwinn+black+beach&btnG=Search

You can get a general idea of it's value by checking eBay and other auction sites.  However for an accurate appraisal of your piano it will have to be examined by a local professional. There are far too many variables to get a real appraisal for anything on line.  Good luck sounds like a nice instrument and one that was well taken care of.

I got one for £80 at my local music shop. Fantastic sound. Its a black Countryman.\nGet a steel stringed one (6 strings, not 12) and not a classical (nylon string) one\n\nHope this helps. Rock On!

send link to picture, I'll check it out.  Also, try Ebay.  An item is only worth what people are willing to pay for it, and that'll tell you what they're willing to pay for it.
