The 237 would be the better machine.

Chrystal, who made your machine? I have some of those cams, but don't know which machine they fit.

Myer Deluxe

Wow! Just found this thread - super cool

This is my new toy, I ended up back here searching around for other machines like it after Google turned up absolutely nothing. I was really surprised as I have seen a few Myer Deluxe models here over the past couple of years. I didn't think they were that uncommon.

Anyway, I've never seen one exactly like this before so I thought I'd add mine to the gallery of other 'pretties'...

It looks like it not only can sew, but tell the weather and play music all at the same time.

I love the fabric cord BTW. And does that have an unusual case?

Frudemoo that's a great machine! These early zigzags remind me of cars from 1958 or 59 when the chrome and fins were at their peak and were completely overdone.
Miriam already posted a picture of the one Japanese fancy stitch machine I own. It's the orange Monkey Wards model she showed us. It's not overly fancy but works well.

Here is my Fleetwood Deluxe. I have only been able to narrow it down to being made in Japan because of the Japanese script cast into the underside of the body. it is a work horse, and sews brilliantly on fine fabrics as well as heavy canvas.

I have a couple with that big wide throat plate - one is a Capitol. Nice machine BUT I have a Singer nearly identical and it is a POJ.

Hey, thanks Miriam

I think so too... can't wait to give it a go, I think I'd better get dad to check the electrics on this one, it's got some 'red wire/green wire' action going on - he's busy rebuilding a vintage amplifier at the moment so I have to try and be patient

I'm sure it can do all of those things Grant! The case is sitting behind it in the pic. Nothing terribly unusual except for being in such fantastic condition and such a nice colour. The handle is white vinyl.
