what machine is this?
4 Attachment(s)
My friend is cleaning out her mothers house and found these two machines. Can anyone tell me anything about them? I havent seen them in person yet but she says the Jones works. The other doesn't. She said she would just give it to me the Jones, but I would rather give her a fair price. The case isn't the orginal and has a hole cut in it according to her for the crank handle. Thanks in advance.[ATTACH=CONFIG]476276[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]476277[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]476278[/ATTACH]

Both are Jones. You don't say where you live, but Jones were made in England.

I nothing about them, but would consider myself very lucky were I to be gifted a nice Jones handcrank like that. Enjoy your good fortune!
|
Wow, what a nice friend! Have fun fixing them up!
|
I have been searching for information on them to find what model excetra they are and can find nothing. Anyone know a site I can go to?

If she has the manuals for them, they will give you an approximate date. There is a manual available on-line at this link if it is a cylindrical shuttle machine: http://www.ismacs.net/jones/cylindrical_shuttle.html

No manuals. The pictures show everything she has.

sorry, but it does not look, from these pictures, like the handcrank is a handcrank but rather a handle mounted on the machines handwheel.
Jones are very well made machines and quite rugged. |
Wonder if that stitch length lever also provides "reverse" like my Empira?
