My second blue vintage Japanese I bought in a quilt shop in Buffalo NY. It was totally serviced and ready to sew, a bargain at $30 dollars. I use it to paper piece and I LOVE it!!

Sideways, those machines are both Japanese 15 clones. Here is a link: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...p-t164361.html for more info.

OMG! All those machine together have me drooling. Here is my Viscount a friend gave me. As you can see, she's missing the needle plate that opens to the front, was probably hinged. What I need is to find a common name brand that has the same plate so that Jennie at Sew-Classic can find it for me.
It measures 3 1/4 inch wide and had the screws evenly spaced on each side, not offset. It measures 5 inches from front to back. Strange, it has a screw hole on the machine behind the needle where something went. Caroline S has a Brother 280 that looks similiar. The 1977 Kenmore 158.13571, jlm5419. the Stitchmaster, grant 15clone. Why am I obsessed with returning her to working condition? Uh, do I really need to explain that to this group? |

Pink Coronado

I'm not sure if this is a 'badged' machine or where it was made. There are no indications anywhere on it. It is a Coronado Model M-93Z, Precision Built Automatic, Super Deluxe. It was inside a treadle cabinet I wanted and thought the machine was a bit different. The lady said it didn't work, but I took it anyway. When we plugged it in the motor smoked so it was unplugged immediately. I've cleaned the machine and oiled it; removed the motor for repair or replacement, but the machine seems to be in very good shape and everything moves smoothly. Picture is a bit fuzzy, sorry.
It really is pink with a brown top, not orange as in the picture. :) |
Nice looking machine. There may be some markings underneath the bed as to the maker, though it was likely made in Japan.
