Any info on the old Janome machines? The person who has it doesn't sew and only knows it's a vintage zigzag model 393.
From what I just read on the Kenmore site, my early 1960s model isn't worth digging out, so I'm still looking for a machine I can drop the feed dogs on.

Bojangles, I have a Damasus made by Montgomery Ward that looks a lot like your Davis VF. Mine was made about 1926, do you suppose it would FMQ? It needs a lot of cleaning, but don't have time right now. Thanks, Bobbie

Boopers, this site posted by Dunster mention the post 1958 machine further down - just before the pictures. As mine was purchased in the early 60s as a new machine, I doubt that it is pre 1958.
