Question Sewing Machine Help, please!!!!

First, I will humbly beg mod forgiveness if I have placed this thread in the wrong place. I know there are a lot of DIYers out there, and a great number of people with sewing machines and experience, so I thought I'd check here. I received, as a gift, a Thompson PW-400 Mini Walking Foot sewing machine. From what I can tell from looking on the web, this is a hoss of a machine, and can sew leather and heavy canvas. I see a kilt and sporran making machine here, but I haven't an instruction manual, and I can't seem to find ANYWHERE to get one! Does any of this genius rabble have a clue where one can be obtained? I have googled the heck out of it, and can only come up with people selling the machine, and nowhere to get the manual. Any ideas? Thanks!

Why not contact the company? You can find them at http://www.thompsonsewing.com/

I imagine they can help you out.

Looks like a Sailrite knock off. Not saying that's a bad thing, but thier manuals are available online. Should be almost identical.

Sadly, the phone # listed on the thompson website doesn't work. I am skeptical about sending them something snail mail, but I may google Sailrite and see what I come up with. Thanks, guys!!!
