s to early 90's and you should find more info at a Janome dealer who has been in business that long! They were not on the open market, but I believe only sold through stores like Sears. It should take generic Janome/Kenmore parts. Wish we lived close by so I could test it for you. I have an older janome gem silver that is much like this! It takes all generic kenmore/janome feet/bobbins!
Good to know! I may even have some stray feet in my extras box; I'll have to check. I wasn't too far off on guessing the date, either.
Thanks!

Paid around $350 for it then. I still like it, nothing fancy, but works fine.
I knew *somebody* out there had to have one! Nice to know yours is still chugging along-this one seems to be too. I'm still debating whether or not to keep it (Yes! It's a nice machine! No! You've already got two backups, how many do you need?) but I'll think of something eventually. today I'll make a 10-minute table runner on it for a shakedown cruise, see how that goes.
