I have a 99 clone that says "made in occupied Japan," but I haven't found a lot of the 99 clones either. Nancy
It is a full size machine as is the other "Made in Occupied Japan" machine that I have. I have not found any JA or JC numbers on either but haven't looked in a while either. Will look later tonight or tomorrow. So, if it's not's a 15 or a 99, then is it something else? I am just curious & not overly concerned.
