The 237 would be the better machine.

The 237 works beautifully.....I love it!! It is a Keeper!

Chrystal, who made your machine? I have some of those cams, but don't know which machine they fit.

Myer Deluxe

Wow! Just found this thread - super cool :D

This is my new toy, I ended up back here searching around for other machines like it after Google turned up absolutely nothing. I was really surprised as I have seen a few Myer Deluxe models here over the past couple of years. I didn't think they were that uncommon.

Anyway, I've never seen one exactly like this before so I thought I'd add mine to the gallery of other 'pretties'...

Amelia - that one has some class!

It looks like it not only can sew, but tell the weather and play music all at the same time. :D
I love the fabric cord BTW. And does that have an unusual case?

Frudemoo that's a great machine! These early zigzags remind me of cars from 1958 or 59 when the chrome and fins were at their peak and were completely overdone.
Miriam already posted a picture of the one Japanese fancy stitch machine I own. It's the orange Monkey Wards model she showed us. It's not overly fancy but works well.

Here is my Fleetwood Deluxe. I have only been able to narrow it down to being made in Japan because of the Japanese script cast into the underside of the body. it is a work horse, and sews brilliantly on fine fabrics as well as heavy canvas.

I have a couple with that big wide throat plate - one is a Capitol. Nice machine BUT I have a Singer nearly identical and it is a POJ.

Hey, thanks Miriam :) I think so too... can't wait to give it a go, I think I'd better get dad to check the electrics on this one, it's got some 'red wire/green wire' action going on - he's busy rebuilding a vintage amplifier at the moment so I have to try and be patient ;)

I'm sure it can do all of those things Grant! The case is sitting behind it in the pic. Nothing terribly unusual except for being in such fantastic condition and such a nice colour. The handle is white vinyl.

Looks great Rodney! The other Myer Deluxe models I've seen have more chrome than this and are a deeper metallic sky blue. Pretty striking! Must have been the most common one released in Australia. There seems to be much more variety in the USA.
