Now to find a repair man. I have never had my little brother in for anything. I know I will need to get my "big brother" in one of these days but I haven't had it long I wonder if the place where I got "big brother" at will take care of the Janome! hmmm, maybe another phone call.[/quote]
Make sure that they are certified for Janomes.

Check with your local Janome repairman, they should be able to access more information about it for you.
Janome is the parent company to New Home Sewing machines. Some dealers still show the New Home signage.

Hi, I just saw your message about a vintage Janome.
I belong to a Vintage Singer Group from Yahoo where they discuss machine repair and identification, including repairing a cabinet,etc. By no means it the it set up as well as this group.
They have just started a new group which people who have a machine that is not a Singer may join. You can get a lot of information off of these groups. Even the singer group gives some general information which should cover most machines, including yours.
If you are interested in the non-singer group, check out the following:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Vintag...gMachineRepair
The Singer Group is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vintagesingers/
I hope the information you find on these sites will be of help to you. They have been to me.

The porcelain insulator in my 301A foot control broke and the control would not work. I found a replacement on ebay. You might check there. There are also some on-line shops that sell replacement foot controls and feet. They have reference lists so you can see which feet fit which machne. Good luck and happy hunting.

I think it is the perfect gift. It was free, it is useful, and it doesn't cost much to maintain. He can't possibly object to it. Congrats on getting the family heirloom with so many memories attached to it. Wouldn't it be wonderful to teach your children to sew on it. Be sure to record it's history and keep it with the machine.
