@TheTattooedProf Somewhat a side topic, but maybe someone can help. I'm looking for a manual for a 1934 German-manufactured Phoenix 81 sewing machine. (German or English text.) Anyone know of an archive for those?

I'd post this link with the photo of the machine if this is the right one.

This Pattern Review forum might be your best bet. It's the "Sewing Machines" discussion forum. Someone might be able to direct you.
