I fiddled with an Electro Grand Japanese badged with cams (cams missing) Some of it is not intuitive. There is a zig zag dial on the front either doesn't work right or I am missing something. I'm sure someone here will know. The machine was not turning. I started oiling and came to the nose area - there was thread wrapped around the some of the moving parts or not so moving parts. I got the thread and a ton of lint out and the machine turns nice. Then it was missing the bobbin case and the needle clamp so I dug through parts and fixed that. I set the tensions and the machine stitches a nice stitch. I also had to free up the feed dog drop & buttons. Now I need to figure out how the cams and zz work. What is B - A - M ??? it has to do with the cams but nothing stands out at me on this machine. The zz dial side levers seem to be a bit gooey inside, too. There is a cam in there but the stitch did not resemble the cam at all. The cam is seated as far as that goes.

Can't help with your problem other than to give your machine a name. Bambi. LOL

Maybe someone here can help - I talked to my daughter this evening. She was given a Dressmaker machine. labeled Standard Sewing Equipment Corp., New York Yamazaki S. M. CO LTD, Osaka, Japan. The model number is SWM-1000, serial #21219. She would like to get any information possible, as there is no manual. She mentioned a lever that looks like it moves the needle position. I am wondering if this would be a zigzag machine.
Editted: She discovered there is no bobbin in the bobbin case. Any idea the type that might work? |
A picture would help. The sewing machine will take a class 15 bobbin.

As for a manual, here is a link to a manual for a Dressmaker SWA-2000 that looks just like it, and would likely work for your daughter's machine. http://www.sewingmanuals.com/Sewing_...ess_2000i1.jpg |
Thanks so much for the help.

I have a pink Atlas with the same decals as your pink Brother. Mine is very heavy. I've seen one very much the same but light weight. Go figure.
