Sewcraft machine...what do you know about them?

I have the opportunity to acquire a Sewcraft sewing machine from a family member. What does anyone know about them? Here's a photo of said machine.

No, QuiltNan, I think it's a newer model. I've done online searches and haven't come up with much. It is in a cabinet. Thanks.

I'm going to guess that it is probably a Japanese badged machine. Does it have zig zag?

You may be able to find one that looks like it at http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine...g_Machines.htm or in the Japanese fancy stitches thread here in the vintage section.

If the machine is mostly complete and functioning it probably is a decent machine. Some things are fairly easy to replace or fix... others not so much.

ETA - check the pictures of machines Vintage Japanese 'Badged' sewing machine with fancy stitches

If you find one that looks like the one you can get - you can copy and paste the link. Pictures really do help.
