I need help again. Since I have my Hales Cresent pretty much figured out; and, I have almost finished the flip top to complete the re-finishing of my 319W's cabinet, I am now sanding and refinishing the Hitachi treadle. You guys remember when I bought this treadle. The people who had the treadle got it when they bought a storage unit - it was left in the unit. This treadle has original needle packages in the drawer with the original price tag marked in Japanese. The needles were not bought here - they would have had a US price tag on them. I have searched and search. I even sent e-mails to Hitachi and got back an answer that they never made a sewing machine. Well, Hitachi is all over this treadle - on the irons in 3 places, and on the machine. This is obviously an industrial machine. It has a knee bar to lift the foot - a really cool machine, but I can find out nothing about it!
