Ideal Automatik = Brother ????
I have this machine:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]462580[/ATTACH]
It is badged as an "IDEAL AUTOMATIK". A decal under the bed says "MADE IN REPUBLIC OF IRELAND", and all the control names are written in German. It had the original 220 V motor on it when I got it. I replaced it with a motor kit from Sew-Classic since I couldn't find a voltage converter for it.
Now, this machine is a Brother. Marked underneath J-C 1 witch indicates brother. Obviously a Japanese casting assembled in Ireland for the German market.
What I have tried a number of times, on a couple forums is to determine which model Brother this machine corresponds to so I can hunt up a manual. It's similar to a 190, but the 190 does not use cams and this one does.
So, I'm asking for help to determine once and for all, what Brother model is this machine?
I have exhausted my search ability so any help is appreciated. If anyone needs any more info, just ask.
