I opened the case of my $5 mystery sewing machine and this is what I've found.
Brand name HILTON
Titled as ZIGZAG STITCHER
Made in Japan
I didn't look too far for a serial # and such. It weights a ton and it's still in the trunk of my car. So when I can get it in the house to look farther, maybe I'll find out something.
I did check on the net for some more info. I found on reference that says the Hilton brand was bought by White. Haven't looked there yet.
The only thing that scared me about the machine is that it's driven by a short ornage exterior belt. May be one of those things not easy to find.
When it gets in the house, I'll get a couple pictures of it.
