Thanks in a huge way to gmcttr for his help I have my singer 476 up and running. I took a simingly well running machine and fixed a reverse stuck and a shattered upper gear. I figured out how to take it apart and more importantly put it back together. Getting the upper gear out and the new one in was a challange. Finding out why the reverse was stuck also a challange. Putting it back together, fixing the timing and adjusted the bobbin tension (because my 3 yo daughter undid it). All this without any knowledge of sewing or what anything on the machine does.
Well today I made a pocket. Not the best work anyone will see, but a pocket none the less. Tomorrow maybe a stuff sack or bishop bag.
And soon I will have 2 machines to use...
