    There are so many dashboard machines. I'm kind of partial to the turquoise and white machines like my Miracle.

    Of course the "fins" don't hurt. Some other names for very similar machine are Universal, Sewmatic, McKee Dressmaker, Rotary Electric.

    There is also a White 670 Radiomatic (I don't have one) but it has lighted dials. https://www.quiltingboard.com/vintag...ml#post6687697

    Have you browsed through Vintage Japanese 'Badged' Zig Zag and Straight Sew Sewing Machines ?

    or Google images for dashboard sewing machine? Of course they can go by many different names.

    The Universal I gifted to a young male friend is a beauty. I miss her, but I'm pleased to see it in use. He has made two curtains, with more to go.[ATTACH=CONFIG]616583[/ATTACH]
