Artsyone - I did! About 5 years ago, I bought a kenmore 19233 from eBay, and it IS janome made, and I really like it - sears no longer sells kenmore sewing machines - sigh... But janome is selling the same machine as a dc5100. The accessories from my old machine don't work b/c it was a super high shank machine, and my new one is low shank, but I LOVE the snap-on feet, the needle up down, the the needle threader, the lock stitch, etc etc. I think I WILL keep my eyes open for a vintage machine replacement and see if it turns up. I just have to get the model # from my sister-in-law!
