Billy,

Mine is a treadle in a cabinet, and the # is: 3638774

Thanks!!

It was locked up when I got it. It's working now, but it will never sew unless I find a bobbin and bobbin case. Any suggestions?

quiltingweb,

Yes I have some suggestions:

> Your LSMG
> Post clear pic of the bobbin housing for those who might have some extras
> Thayer Rags parts { http://thayerrags.com/ }
> It more than likely takes a White style of bobbin case and bobbin.

It is just like the White bobbin and case...but just a bit smaller. I tried. And I know my timing is going to have to be reset, once I have a bobbin and case. I had to remove one of the bars that runs across the bottom of the machine. It was stuck and had to be PBlasted before it would move. Now it's moving really well, but I won't know how well until I can actually sew with it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]364242[/ATTACH]

I wonder, if looking at this picture, I can get it lined up again, using the photo for reference. I took this before I took it apart and cleaned it.

Called my local sewing machine repair guy and I'm going to go visit him next week. He thought, if I brought along my sewing machine, he might be able to find something in his stash

I hope this loads - it looks a lot like a Singer Japanese 15 clone but I don't think it is exactly a clone - I think it is one well made machine. Looks like they didn't all load...

Here is my New Home. I haven't actually used it yet but it sure is pretty!

I hadn't seen this thread before but it wouldn't have mattered as before Friday we didn't have any New Home machines. Now we have three...

The one that arrived Friday is a curious case. It was apparently made for New Home in West Germany and sold in Michigan in 1955 - it came with the original receipt, manuals (one for a New Home zig zag and one for a Free Westinghouse zig zag), part list for model CZ and NZ and lots of attachments. Unfortunately it also came with a broken bobbin winder bracket - part number G33004, or the whole assembly is number G34066 if someone has one lying around :) For the moment the bobbins can be wound on a different machine so that's not a huge deal as far as usability is concerned. After doing some scrounging around I'm pretty sure it's just a rebadged Anker RZ minus the pin cushion. The RZs seem to come up more often - though still not what you'd call frequently - so I'm hopeful of eventually finding a bobbin winder bracket replacement.

Yesterday we picked up a New National by New Home model 4477 apparently made on Mayo 18, 1904 (at least that's what the stencil says.) Fun looking machine but it's missing the shuttle. The person we bought it from had a shuttle from a different machine to test it with and it appears to work just fine.

On the way back home from picking up the 4477 we stopped at an antique store and found another one, which happens to look a lot like Cathy's from the previous post except it was electrified and in a (cheesy) case rather than in a treadle base.

One more tidbit about the zig zag machine. I just measured and, though I can't be sure without trying it out, it may well fit a Singer cabinet! Some of the Anker versions that I found while looking around were treadled.... Hmmmm....
