Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell

You'd think if they lost the records they'd at least know they'd made sewing machines, even if they didn't know anything else. My guess is that Hitachi was a common name of two different companies (think Apple Records and Apple computers), and you talked to the 'wrong' Hitachi. The 'right' Hitachi may well be long gone. It's a great machine, and an interesting mystery!

FYI-anyone looking for a 15-91 or a "redeye" should check out the goodwill online auction site. They have both very cheap right now.

My newest machine. I couldn't resist it. I just wish I knew how to operate it, lol.

I have a 503 but not any cams. What I need is for a kind soul to post a couple pictures - one from the topp, if possible - so I know waht to look for on EBay and buy the right ones and not just some that I think look good. I do have a amnual but zero pictures of ther cams needed for the fancy stitches. Thanks in advance. ~ Chris

Thanks, I'm anxious to sew with her but have no idea just where I'm going to put her in my house but I'll find a spot if I have to get rid of some piece of furniture. lol I think I'm right at 32 or 33 machines now and 6 of those are treadles and they do take up some room. I'd love a big loft that was just mine, mine, mine to display all my machines and have them all out so they could be sewn on without having to rearrange a space for them. Guess it doesn't hurt to wish.....
