Vintage Brother Pacesetter FZ-2
Ran onto this machine on Fri at a 'variety' store. He wanted $15 for it. The handwheel would not turn, but the motor tried to run when pushing on foot ctl. I usually just buy black machines, but liked the small size of this and it also reminds me of an Elna grasshopper. I found thread jammed behind the bobbin area. I printed a manual off of yahoo vintagejapansewingmachines group. Got the thread removed then found it wouldn't pickup the bobbin thread. It was out of time. Managed to figure that out and now it sews a nice stitch & is very quiet. Haven't been able to turn the dial for the fancy stitches yet.
