As for the red one, I've been collecting a long time, and other than the red Vikings, I don't believe I've ever seen a red machine.

Btw, if anyone is considering buying it, just remember that if it's an Aussie model the motor will probably be 240v.

Anybody got any ideas? It's driving me up a wall. I was just sewing on this a couple months ago. I 'think' I may have had this same issue then but i'm not sure what I did to fix it..lol

A few years ago I bought a Janome machine on eBay, asked the seller if they knew 'how' to package and was assured 'yes we do'. It arrived in a flimsy box (machine far too heavy for the box used) and of course the base was just about non-existent when delivered. I opened it in front of the delivery man so I had confirmation of it's condition only to discover the machine had 'everything' taped to the body of the machine with that horrible, brown packing tape that must have been a million years old and was really, really, gooey and tacky.
It took more than a week to get the machine, power cable and attachments cleaned not to mention almost a whole bottle of turps. I took heaps of photos and told the seller I wasn't happy and all she could say was 'hubby told me to do it that way'. To which I replied 'hubby isn't always right!!'

I've had a couple of ebay shipping disasters. I'm almost paranoid when I ship a machine. We buy boxes and use lots of plastic packing material used to ship airplane parts and so far not a problem one.
