I agree! I love the color of the clones. I love the decals on the older machines. They are just beautiful! I wish they still made machines that way instead of basic white.

The spring should be on the other side. Thread goes around the tension, through the spring and around the bar to the take up lever and back down.

here is my Emmerson... I have no information about her, just the model number. A 109157 brass plate says...DELUX the machine that satisfies, made in Japan. If you have any information on her, like when she was born, I'd love to know! thanks...
she is in need of a super good cleaning. I dusted her off, but have not been able to take her apart and do a proper cleaning. That will have to wait until I get a digital camera at least. Plugged her in when I got her so I know she works, but I have not threaded her yet. She came without a bobbin case, but my other bobbin cases fit so that's ok. She was a gift from a friend... my first vintage and free!

That Belaire looks like an old car dashboard doesn't it - you can't see the tension - I should have taken a pic of the end of the machine - it has it's own corner for the tension and the light is in the bump out. The punch buttons are to adjust the feed dogs for FM!!! I sold that machine to a guy who came to buy a machine for his wife for Christmas - he took a look at this one and had to have it too. Cracks me up.
