Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Hi:
A question for you. My daughter has a machine in cabinet that she was given.
Here are the numbers: JA2 Model 270 k911643.
It is a New Home. Evidently made by Janome. Can you tell me when it was made - year mostly.
I have decided it is a "vintage" not an "antique".

Oh you can call New Home or send the serial number to the New Home Sewing Machine Co, PO Box 25901, Los Angeles 25, California. I don't have the phone number, but someone on here does. The New Home office can date some of their machines through 1955.

NANCY and everyone else having difficulty posting photos,
For those that are having difficultly posting pictures, it's helpful to reset your settings to "enhanced interface". This then sets up a different format for your reply. The reply section then has a menu above the area to post with bars, (font, size, smilies, and images), that can be used. I found this easy to use after changing my settings. Here are directions to do the change which is taken from another post.
Go to settings--top right; then to general settings--scroll down list on left. Now scroll to Misc settings and check enhanced interface. See below----Make sure to save changes.
Miscellaneous Options
Message Editor Interface:
• Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing
• Basic Editor - A simple text box
• Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls
After doing this you quick reply box will have more features and one is an image of a picture (looks like a tree) that you click on to upload images. I do not use the go advance, just quick reply. Don't forget to SAVE. Hope that helps!

Yes, that's a cool feature! also found if at bottom of page just hit the "Top" at the bar on the bottom and it takes you to the top quickly.
Monica I already have the 'enhanced' checked. Also I tried the 'quick reply' and I found the icon that says 'image' but how do I get a photo from my desktop to that spot. I tried dragging, that didn't work. I don't get a message asking for the 'image?'

Monica, for some reason, Nancy's not getting the pop up box for images...I tried to figure it out this morning, didn't work! (I'm just not guru enough!)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]282329[/ATTACH]Well it worked sort of! Monica I did what you said, but I had to do an 'edit reply' then go to the 'image' icon to download a photo. I don't know why the second picture appears to be half there - at least on my computer?
Anyway, I was trying to show Bennett, what happens to a cabinet that had been painted black after 50 years or so. The before and after of my Wilcox & Gibbs.

The previous post with the ugly cabinet that looks gray - was painted a glossy black at one time - is the original of this now re-finished cabinet!
Yeah! It worked this time - the whole picture came through! Sorry everyone! I will go do some work now!
