I'm hoping this weather pattern ends soon, and that we have something pleasant to replace it. Also hoping everyone out there in the cyber-shop is safe and has electricity!! |

Some of the models were made with some basic built-in stitches, and then took cams for extra sts beyond that. Other models were made with NO built in sts, and it took cams to create all the sts. That would be why you need the basic ZZ cam in place to sew a straight st. This is the basic difference between the 401 and the 403. The machines are identical except that the 401 has some built in sts (hence the big dial button, front and center) and also takes cams, and the 403 has no built in sts, and uses cams for all sts. I believe the 500a and the 503 Rocketeers are the same way-- one has some built-ins and the other has none. In general, cams are not usable from one brand of machines to another: Elnas have their own type cam, Necchis have theirs, etc. |
It was priced that because he didn't know what it was worth and wanted someone to make an offer. He insisted it was a real antique.

The second photo is the Graybar plate with take up in the same location as Sew Wishful's machine. The bottom photo is my Two Spools.
Just what I learned, I thought it was interesting! I wish now I'd of gotten that Graybar when I had the chance, but hopefully someone did get it to give it a good home! Nancy |

This is because all I've seen so far stops with the A and another letter or the E and another letter serial number. What am I doing wrong and where do I go for more info? Thanks in advance, Chris

See someone already answered. |
