I'm looking for more info on it if possible, I know the 19 means Toyota, the serial is low 33k so it's 1951 or 1952 but I cant find a manual for it anywhere.

It's a great looking machine, maybe from the late 50s or early 60s? Finding a manual will be difficult as there were many variations of this zig zag machines made in Japan. I'm stepping out on a limb here, but if I had Janey's research skills I would look for a machine with a "White" badge and hopefully a model number and then look for a manual that way.

hello I would like to know more about this. I believe I have one and I could really use some more information about it.

Welcome to Quilting Board, MarielleR. Miriam has not been on QB for over a year. Since you quoted something that was posted mentioned various department stores, it is hard to know which one you have. Perhaps if you posted a picture someone may have one similar or know about your machine. However, there is sometimes not a lot of information on these Japanese machines and often the same or extremely similar will have many different names on them. I know one machine that has at least five different names on them. The may be different colors, but they are the same machine.

We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf

Looking for more info, perhaps a manual, and maybe a little help. Recently inherited this vintage machine, and trying to restore it. I don't have a lot of money to pay someone to look at it, so I'm trying to do what I can on my own. Any info, manuals ect are appreciated. Currently troubleshooting the needle hitting in the bobbin area. Either it's hitting the shuttle hook or the bobbin case, unsure if it's user error (this is my first vintage machine) or a timing issue.

A few pics are attached, and I started my own thread about it here.

Update: got the machine running and apparently it only does straight stitching. The lever I thought would control the zigzag, actually just sets the needle position. The other is the stitch length/reverse.

This Capitol was passed.on to me, it works well but the thread tensioner is broken. Underneath it is labelled GNS and JZ72365. Any info is appreciated!

Hello All,

I am trying to find out the actual make and model for the machine in the pictures. It had a badge that says Premier and the tag says Deluxe Zig Zag model 4700, made in Japan. My search has not found any exact results. The closest thing I found was a Morse Zigzag model 4700 that was listed on Etsy for sale. It is nearly identical. I would love to find a user manual and a parts guide.This machine belonged to my late mother-in-law and was well used. One issue that I need to resolve is the tension mechanism. The spring is all bent up and I am not sure what shape or type of replacement spring I need. Maybe someone hereo on this forum can help me out or point me in the right direction. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
Mark K.

Welcome to QB, Mark. Thank you for the pictures. As mentioned it is hard to tell the actual manufacture of these machines. Since you have found the Morse 4700 to be almost identical, I would suggest that looking for that manual would be very helpful. I don't have any experience with any of these sites, but here are a few I found
https://www.ifixmachines.com/index.p...hbutton-manual
https://www.etsy.com/listing/2567826...button-zig-zag
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1655775...-m-zz-mzz-dial
https://manualsoncd.com/product/mors...uction-manual/
You may find a JA or JC number on them. Here is a site about those numbers and possible manufacturers - but a lot is speculation based on similarities or characteristics of said machines.
