Hello everyone,
I'm new around here, and stumbled upon this board/thread through various other websites, while trying to do some research on a machine I just bought off ebay. It caught my eye instantly, and the fact that it was made in Japan and all metal encouraged me to buy it. However, when it arrived, the stitch length dial was not working and I'll need to have it serviced. Being the DIY girl that I am, I wanted to see if I could figure out the problem myself, but I can't for the life of me find a manual for this machine. That's when I found out about "badged" machines from Japan. I was wondering if anyone could help me ID this machine to see what it was modeled after. It's an Emdeko Mark IV...

When I opened it up to oil it, I noticed the dial wasn't hooked onto anything. it's just turning freely! The person I bought it off of claims it was fine, but how could a piece disappear? It could merely be detached, but I don't see any dangling pieces.

Welcome Groovy!
This looks like it will take some discussion. May I suggest that you go ahead and open a new thread? That way we can really get into a focused chat without other posts mixing it up!
Cool looking machine! I collect pre 1900's machines, so I am practically worthless to you here but I thought I would chime in with a welcome!

thought I would share my latest Tradecard (Victorian business Card) acquisition.
This is an advert/card for the "New" Elias Howe Model B (which I have two of) I think it is one of the most beautiful in my collection.

cool threader. It was advertised as not having the spare hooks but if you look at the little bump in the front pic and at the back of where the hook mounts in the back view you will see BOTH spares are there.
Too Cool.

Being the sewing machine geek that I am, I splurged and got a mint condition mocha-colored 201K this morning, made in Great Britain. I cannot wait to sew with it!! $70 for this gem... but reading up on 201s, it deemed a worthy investment, considering the shape it's in!
