I have Princess antique sewing machine where can I get info on it? »

I have a vintage kenmore sewing machine and..?

one this machine my needle is not moving when I first turned it on the needle stitched a few loose stitches but then stopped. I’ve tried turning it off and back on to see if that would work and it didn’t. I’ve changed needled, oiled it, changed threads, rethreaded, changed foots and everything. I don’t know what else to do it makes the sound like it wants to sew but it just sounds like it is locked or something. What should i do?
I have already checked the bobbin area and I have cleaned everything. Seems like it is one of the belts like when i turn the wheel on the end to make the needle come up it is so hard to turn.

Try tightening the outer wheel–sounds like the machine is set for filling the bobbin which disengages the sewing mechanism
