Pinnock Sewing machine user manual

I couldn't believe it when one kind lady scanned this and sent it to me.
I don't actually have a Pinnock 404, but I'm sure it will help someone out there.
Can't comment on copyright, but seeing as Pinnock stopped manufacturing in 1966 and there are a heap of people selling pdfs of Pinnock manuals I came to the conclusion that totally free distribution of this is reasonable.
I have several Pinnocks and they're all very similar up to the time Brother started using the name in the 1980s, so if you have a genuine Pinnock, this is likely to be helpful.
I disassembled the original pdf, cut it in size and re-saved it to reduce the file size. It is 1.67MB and available here.

  1. Hi, delighted you have a copy of a manual as myself and my mother have a Pinnock here we are trying to use to make cloth dolls. Unfortunately when I click the link to download I am getting redirected to this error page . Would really really really appreciate if you could get it back up!? Thank you Aine :)

    1. Sorry Aine. It was hosted on my own web site, which I closed down a few months ago. So glad someone will benefit from this manual. Might put a few others up too.

  3. Hi Tamara. I actually had a super stretch 3600 until a month or two ago, and it had no manual. However, I found that I didn't need one. Threading instructions were printed on the machine and it worked just like any other better quality modern machine. It was Japanese or Taiwanese (I sold it for a garage sale price).
    It was a fairly good machine and very light (compared to my solid metal machines) but seeing as it was typical, I imagine that any manual for a similar era Brother would probably do you. Why do you need a manual?
