[quote=quilt addict]Okay, I haven't posted my acquisitions lately as they are not much to talk about and didn't get pictures. They are just piling up in the garage.
But got this today for $15. Lots of feet and all the cams for the decorative stitches. Definately need to redo the wiring before I can use it. But should clean up pretty easy.

So you jumped into the Japanese machine pool again and this time with a really neat machine at that. I have always loved the "Dashboards" of the 50's Japanese machines, they were more Americana than we were! You know I am going to ask for the JA and the JC numbers on the machine and look to at the motor and tell me if it has a date on the badge anywhere. I found out that the Brother machines have a date on the motor that will tell you when it was made. So I am hoping that other manufacturers did the same thing.
Cant wait to see it cleaned up and boy I love the color of the cams!!!

Lots of great looking machines changing hands with garage sale season here!
The Singer Stylist 533 that I rescued from the dumpster is clean, oiled and running. She runs a little slow, but smooth. I have figured out most of the things I need to know, but there are dials that are foreign to me. Anyone know where I can find a way to identify some of them? So far the Internet hasn't been much help. The stitch is very good, but the machine clunks badly when the ZZ is set to 3 or 4. I did have a broken plastic washer left over. The bad thing is I didn't see where it came from.
I feel like I should keep the Stylist for a bit, though my granddaughter wants it. AnnieRose, the 301, developed a periodic groan in one of her gears today. I couldn't see any reason why upon a close inspection. G-r-r-r.
