Awww man! No room for this beauty!
If this was a little closer to me, I probably go ahead and buy it, and make DH mad. Except for the cabinet leaf, it looks pretty good to me. It's a Janome New Home.

Not a bad looking machine and it's priced reasonably, especially since the ad says it comes with the cams. That will save whoever gets it a bunch of trouble finding the right ones.

I'd grab it too - if it was close enough. But then I'm building my "dash board" machine wall LOL!!

I love those green New Homes from he '60s. That's a very nice one.
Here's one (that I do have) that's available in the Seattle area: http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/fuo/4805358030.html It's a great machine and this one's in great shape. |
I just bought one that's a similar model # and the exact color New Home/Janome. I recently serviced and and I have to say I'm impressed. I can't remember if the amp on the motors is 1.2 or 1.3 and it's a very nice machine. All metal gears, heavy beast and will likely sew through bricks if you wanted to. I really like the fact that you can have it needle centered as a lot of these Japanese machines are left homing and that drives me nuts. Bummer for me is that I didn't get any cams.

I think I paid back in 1967 for my mdl 446 New Home $125.00 brand new. We thought that was a lot but we wanted this machine and never had any regrets. Wonderful machine and so easy to use.

It is still going strong and has done car seat make overs, recovered sofas and chairs and made lots of clothes. This is a great machine. I love it and it is the only electric I use. Wishing you and Richard a very Merry Christmas. It did the redo on all the furniture in the Parlor and the music room. I think you saw the furniture when you came for your visit.
Skip and Pat. I just really don't have the room for this machine, and I thought I'd post it in case someone here was close enough that they could go and get it, if they were interested. |
Nice looking machine...
