Now, for the ultimate Neat-O part - the add on cam drive. This was a seperate unit that could be purchased and installed on the machine.
The seller had not listed that it came with attachments, and I got excited when I saw the box sitting on the cabinet - a real treasure chest!
Original attachment box - with lots of attachments inside.
Another bag of goodies with a walking foot and a darning foot, extra bobbins and a razor blade dispenser (half full).
A buttonholer that fits this machine
And three manuals, plus the box that I was really hoping to find.
Inside the box - it's all there!
Here is where the ultimate Neat-O factor comes in. The cam unit has bars that you attach to control the stitch width and needle position (you use one or both, depending on the stitch you want).
There is a belt that goes from the flywheel to cam unit to make it work.
Here is the underside for those that are interested.
The motor is underneath, and drives a small cogged belt that turns a pulley on the outside of the machine, and another belt goes from that to the flywheel - which means this machine could easily be put on a treadle.
Here is Loren's "plain" sister - just a straight stitch girl.
While I'm not seriously looking for one, if I get a chance at a good deal on an open arm Anker, I'll grab that one fast too!
