My problem is the manuals, there in Japanese :-o . This will be another project to work through the tutorial with Billy.
I did run her and she purred after the belt softened up a bit. However there is an ozone smell so not sure if the motor has a problem.
Enjoy the pictures!
Sweetie I can do a lot of things but translating Japanese is not one of them!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I am in LUST over your machine!!!! Yes I said it
LUST!!!!!
You hit the jackpot on this machine and I will tell you it is a completely different animal than the 185J. Oh man I am going nuts over this one!!!! I would put it back treadle and save the motor and the box and all. But ozone is normal to smell when dealing with the older motors. Eventually it will go away after repeated use, but
MAN I am in LUST, LOVE or what ever over it!!!!!
I have got to find me one some how, thanks to you guys my wish list is growing like crazy!!!

Well Billy, you are free to visit her anytime. I will consider leaving her to you in my will if you help me convert her back. I will look for a manual in English, you have any sources?
