I have all my info on thumb drives. Too many HD failures and too much lost info. We keep as little data on the main HD as possible.
As for the J-A numbers, I check that chart every so often and print it out. It's fun to know who actually made your machine. I just wish I could find out more about the HOTHER machines. All I know is JUKI made mine. Joe |

Awesome pics everyone, thanks so much for sharing. I am still a bit confused how to ID clones...please correct me if I am wrong, its my understanding Clones are sometimes made by secondary companies to sell that lesser prices. I knew nothing about clones until picked up this Geringer and when I chatted w/ Sew Classic and a couple others that's when I learned its probably a National, which I had never heard of. Yes still very green and learning all I can.
Second pic is why I haven't found a hand crank for her yet, she has a spook wheel but the column is rounded and a Singer Hand Crank won't work...so she sits looking pretty. |

The Edison decal looks crooked.

You are right about the Geringer being a badged machine probably made by National - but it was made in the US. The Japanese 15 clones are a certain type of badged machine - they all have the tension on the left compared to the front. They are not as old as the Geringer. I have a Minnesota - probably the same deal - a badged machine - cute little bugger though. There are other machines made in Japan that were badged - they aren't 15 clones though. I have some that are wonderful machines.
