I'm failing at Google trying to find info on a sewing machine I'm going to test and purchase for a friend tomorrow. The seller says it could probably use a new belt, which shouldn't be a big deal. The sewing machine is gorgeous, I'm gonna hate to part with it! It's a Modern Home A293208.

The name Modern Home is what is called a 'Clone' so it's possible you will never find a manual with that name. You can most likely use the Singer 15 as this is the machine it was modeled after.
The A293208 is probably the serial number not the model number.

"The term "clone" as used here refers to the Japanese, and sometimes Chinese and Indian made copies of the Singer Model 15 machines. After WWII Singer's patents on the model 15 had expired and when our government relaxed tariff laws so our former enemies could rebuild their economies at our expense, the Japanese used the Singer 15 as a pattern and went on to embellish it. Many of them were made in colors whereas Singer only made the original style of 15s in black.
