Remington zigzag sewing machine & threading instructions

Look what I bought for $40 CAD in Winnipeg.  I'm pretty sure this beauty is from the 1950s.  I'm just tickled pink with it.

Even the carrying case is in great shape.

Original pink instruction manual.

Notice the accessory box is still wrapped in plastic and surrounded with a cardboard sheath. 

 Unpacking... was like opening a Christmas gift.

A new motor belt and bobbin winder tire were included. These Japanese vintage machines have the best paint jobs.

 The tension dial is painted pink as well.

I haven't cleaned her up yet but Ms. Remington is in pristine condition.

 Serial Number

Brother International Corporation - Made in Japan

 The accessories were still in original packaging.

Six bobbins packed in plastic as well as two little green felt circles for the thread pool pin.

 An extra light bulb, I hope it still works.

A stitch sample.

 

As her third owner, I promptly unpacked her suitcase.  Ms. Remington is beautiful.

 I love the smooth lines, she looks fantastic.

And she is a wonderful stitcher!  Light pink thread in the needle.

 Just look at that satin stitch.

 Hot pink thread in the bobbin.

I just wiped the dust off her, brushed out the feed dogs and the bobbin casing.

Haven't even oiled her yet.

 Now she has been relocated to a cabinet, I have big plans for her. 

First she will be outfitted with a new electronic foot pedal as I do not like using a knee bar.

Then she'll be sewn with often. 

January 12, 2020 - update I received an anonymous comment requesting threading instructions. These photos are from the manual.  

Threading instructions:

Unfortunately, Ms. Remington is so much lovelier than Pinky.  That I may need to find Pinky a new owner.

For many years I wanted a pink sewing machine... now I have two!  My cup runneth over!
