Two Green LLC Machines and Differences.
I was asked to upload images of my two Green "New Home" machines and the rubber drive pulley relocation.
885 shows the New Home, Type J, LLC. Note the stitch plate dual scale.
873 shows the New Home serial number on a pinned plate.
874 is out of focus but you can see the rubber pulley and two drilled holes in the shaft.
875 is a close up of the shaft holes. I don't know what the red stuff is in the one hole.
876 shows the installed new pulley position and the point of contact on new rubber.
877 Is the New Home stitch plate close up.
878 is the Free Westinghouse stitch plate with one upper scale only. It sews backwards anyway.
879 Free Westinghouse LLC under side showing Type J again and no serial number pinned plate.
881 close up of Free West' serial number stamped in the base plate corner.
884 shows the various tensioner parts from 1952-1953 and the un-drilled 1937 tension post mounting screw in row three with a check spring from 1937-ish, estimated.
No more images allowed for uploading.
884 also shows the "double D" copper #14 wire I used and created before I got a real "DD" tension pin washer from 1952-1953.
885 was the Free Westinghouse pulley. It's the same as the N.H. above only rusted more.
871 was all the complete red New Home branded button hole attachment and other incomplete rotary parts I got.
The serial numbers for these two LLCs is in the Janome database as 1952-1953.
I showed both cord plugs but only the NH one is vintage, I believe.
I didn't photograph the foot control motor/light box or cords. One is an Allen Bradley (NH) shown on ebay and the other is a perforated screen covered one (F.West.).
Search Elgin sewing machine parts on Ebay to see a black Elgin estimated 1937 version made in Rockford and with an outlier serial number AAE 43,653. Janome AAE #s start at 43,811. This donor parts machine from Texas is clearly shown as outside the Janome database. It's also outside the ALE range. Only "AE" is a "starting A" lettered model that could contain this serial number but the Elgin is not stamped AE.
HTH Janey,
