jc penny Penncrest model # 30000
hi
Does anyone know any thing about this machine? All it says on the machine is J.C. Penny Penncrest model # 30000. There were no cams with machine, but I know it takes them. Do you know which kind? I am trying to save this machine and clean it up . It is very dirty and probably hasn't been used in years. If you know any thing about it I could use the help. I have no manual for it. But I need to get one. All I got was the machine. I bought it at the goodwill. I gave $10.00 for it. It was sitting in a corner looking sad so I took it home with me. It works but need oil and a very good cleaning. Was this a good buy?
thank you,
Delilah

Delilah,
If you can post a couple clear pics of the cam area and the whole machine it might help figure things out. These machines were made my many different manufacturers and sometimes just the model number isn't enough to ID them.

found the manual for sale but it does not show a picture, so this does not help with identifying who made it.

This company made power tools too as I had my father's old electric drill with the same name....Penncrest on it. It burned up when I went to drill a hole to run telephone wires in my mother's house back in the 90's.

Penncrest is simply JC Penney's "Badge" name, so other items were not made by the same company, only all sold by Penneys. And that is why you can find the same item with a different "badge" name on it, as the companies that made these items usually sold to more places than just Penneys.
Just like Sears used "Kenmore" and Wards used "Signature".
