Default Info on Imperial Sewing Machine

I have a (1950's/ 60's) imperial sewing machine. The model number is 336. Serial number 62700.

Looking for any information I can find. Can't load pictures from my phone so I'll have to add later.

Just from the name I'd say it is likely a Japanese clone of something. They loved fancy titles.

It looks like there might be a knob missing on the arm, possibly for more decorative stitches. It looks similar to Deluxe Zig Zag #69 that the manual says is model 144 at http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine...g_Machines.htm

What, if any, are the JA or JC numbers on the bottom?

Looks like either Toyota or Koyo-Seiko built to me.
