Identifying Japanese made machine
 

Does anyone know where JA-33 machines were made. Other numbers on the machine are: J-C5, KK, UE81, model 750, serial number 09813. It has a stitch length dial and a dial for straight stitch, buttonhole and specialty stitches. Badged Sew Vac. Any help identifying is appreciated.

If you join the vintagejapanesesewingmachine group on Yahoo, you might get some answers to your questions. I don't know any of the answers to your questions. I suspect no one else does either. JA-33 is not listed in the list of Japanese manufacturers I've seen. I'm not that knowledgeable about Japanese machines, but I understand there aren't many records available. You pretty much have to go by how it looks and find matching machines to get manuals, etc.

Does it work well?
