shoot me. (not really but he wont be as amused as I was when my mother gave me this!)

I was helping my mother move and in the process we found the very first Christmas gift that she got from my dad. A sewing machine. It is nothing fancy no bells and whistles, not a treadle, or featherweight but special to me just the same. I remember my mom sitting at the kitchen table sewing 95% of our clothes when we were younger. She told me that as long as I promised not to get rid of it I could have it!

It needs cleaned, a tune up, and the foot pedal wire replaced. But I think it could work great. I think she has had the foot pedal wire fixed about 3 times and its getting a little short hopefully they can still do something with it without making it shorter! lol

I don't have any feet or anything to go with it and I am thinking that it might be missing the table (not extenstion) that goes around it. but that part I cant remember.

The front of the machine says 'Western Reg. U.S. Pat.' and on the back there is a tag/label that says ' Model 793FA Manufactured by Janome Sewing Machine Co. LLC.'
I have googled and I am still looking for information and ANY information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Danielle
