Wonderful find. I have two of these, lovely machines. One is in an odd cabinet I have never seen before. I will photograph it and see if Billy can identify it later. I find this model runs beautifully, you will love it. And how proud you will be once you bring her back to life again!! She has obviously been waiting a long time for you to rescue her. :)

I checked the model # and the listing said made in 1951.
It is very dirty and some parts are mssing. No needle holder
and it has a foot control and it is very dirty and cord looks all crumbly.
I dont know what to do with it, it is heavy . No cabinet

But they will be several and in installments as I work on that particular machine. But they will apply to virtually any machine before computer boards were used. I would really like to see you guys being able to do your own yearly service on your regular machines and use that money on things like FABRIC & NOTIONS!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
And if you service your own machines then the chances of it taking a dump on you will be slim to none. But if it does you should have enough confidence to be able to diagnose the issue and repair it yourselves instead of paying through the nose for someone else to do it. I want you familiar and comfortable with tearing into your machine to service it, then the rest will follow!

I can date a few Japanese built machines like the Koyu built machines along with Jaguar, Mauzen, White, Gritzner-Kayser and Soryu.
