I recently inherited a very old Yumbo Y-35 model with a house in France, it seems to be the french model of the classic Mitsubishi machine. As far as I can tell it hasn't been working in over 10 years, and has been abandoned in an overgrown field during that time. It's a fantastic looking machine and I think it's doable to restore it to working condition.
I have a small team of friends and family to help me get it working, including some mechanics and a naval engineer, so I'm hopeful that I can get it working. But I am having a lot of difficulty finding maintenance and user manuals for the machine. I was hoping that someone on this forum could point me in the right direction to find them? Or perhaps one of you have even restored one before?
Regards,
Alan

Hi Alan and welcome to the site must say that I am not aware of any preserved Yumbo Y35 machines myself so you appear to have a rare beast there, please post some pictures of it if you have the time.
I am not aware of any manuals for these machines so unless somebody happens to have one knocking around you may struggle a bit.

Pete there is a vague recollection that you are correct about that
