    Default Information wanted about "ELEKTA" or "NEW HOME" machine

    We are looking for information about an old machine labled "ELEKTA", nothing about this in the internet found!
    Perhaps it could be a Japanese machine named originally "NEW HOME"....?

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]530022[/ATTACH]

    The manual is only in English so we guess it's not a german model!
    Does anyone know something about this?

    I don't have any real information for you. It is most likely Japanese made. The Japanese makers would put any name on a machine the buyer wanted as long as they bought enough of them. Many manufacturers in other countries did the same thing so it's really not something exclusive to the Japanese. My avatar is a good example of a badged machine. I never thought there was a "Rodney" brand out there but it turns out they imported several different models and had several different logos over the years.
    Sorry I'm not more help,
    Rodney

    At the time that machine was made, the name "New Home" was owned by Janome.

    It can be hard to find info based on the name, often it's better to look until you find one that looks the same - it may have been sold under many different names. There were not all that many different companies making them, so one company may have made the same basic machine for several Sewing Machine companies. The name is not usually helpful in identifing a machine.

    Yours is very neat - I'm assuming it has a built in cam stack for all those stitches on the front.
