Sorry for the poor photo, it's late and I didn't want to bother hauling out my good camera.
My Gimbels-badged 'Precision Built Deluxe' zigzag machine built in Japan.
Has 'J-28' cast in the base.
After I unstuck and oiled it, it runs Really nice, unbelievably quiet. So quiet in fact, that when I first pressed the foot control, I thought that I must have left it in bobbin winder mode.
The machine was on the floor at the time because the cord is very short (it was originally in a cabinet) When I stooped down to look, I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw that the needle bar was in fact moving up and down!
It desperately needs a good exterior cleaning, and also a new belt and bobbin winder tire.
Does anyone know anything about this machine?
I can't seem to find any information about it. Plenty of very similar models, but not this exact one.
Presumably, it must be very rare, so I'll sell it for a million bucks on ebay and retire
