The motor might be made in Canada but the machine was made in Japan.

The Imperial is one that I have never seen here, and the old gentleman who had it said he's been working on machines since the 1970's and its the only one he has ever came across. might be a keeper for me.

My parents used to live in Corner Brook in the 70s. I spent a summer up there.

Thanks everyone. I love working on the machines. It's rewarding bringing back to life these older machines. I always wonder what stores they coukd tell.
