Found this machine at a yard sale on Friday for $25.00. It is definitely not a featherweight (more like a "tonweight"). I am sending pictures to Billy hoping he can identify it. It has Bell Electric, Los Angeles, CA on one of the tags, then Made in Japan on another. It has a power cord held together with tape so I won't plug it in until it is repaired. Luckily we have a man in town that repairs machines this old. Now if I can talk my sister out of one of her cabinets . . . !

Anyway, enjoy.

In picture three you will see the power cord and it has two places for plugs, one for "machine" and one for "light". Wierd huh.

Bell is the manufacturer of the motor, if that is where that tag is.
