I picked up this machine at an auction this weekend. Very clean machine. Has no bobbin. I cannot find anything about it. Does anyone have any information they could share with me? Does have a serial number, model 1000, and made in Japan. Super heavy! She is bone dry of oil, so I'll work on that today! Would appreciate any info on this machine!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]579362[/ATTACH] Tilt the head in it's base and you may be able to see a plate like this. Also another number may be close by that starts with J. Anyway lots of Japanese machines have this kind of marking. Your serial number may be a clue. but not all records are good. Very sleek front .

Serial numbers on Japanese machines are basically useless as there are no records to search for any info. Almost all Japanese machines of this time use a 15 class bobbin and regular 15x1 needles. There may be a JA number under the machine somewhere, that can be a clue to who built it but that's about as much info as can be had.

I have a machine that looks like this except mine has a little door in the center of the top front that holds the cams. I bought it in about 1965 or 1966 at Pennys.

What kind of bobbin does it take? Can you post a photo?
