So I just picked up a nice used Nakajima 380 cylinder-bed machine and was wondering if anyone out there might have a lead on a manual for it? I know it's a long shot, but hey.

Alternately, does anyone know which Juki model it would correspond most closely to, and if there might be a manual available for that? I understand they bought out Nakajima at one point, but I can't seem to find a comprehensive listing of Juki model numbers and have given up on searching images and plugging in model numbers at random.

Here's the machine when I first looked at it:

I redid the table and installed a servo so I could bring it home; I'll put that up in another thread shortly and link to it from here if anyone's interested.

I did an image search and the Juki 341 looks really close.

Thanks - that's exactly what I was looking for, I was apparently just selectively blind. Much appreciated!

I searched for juki cylinder arm using google image search and looked for machines with the stitch length dial on the top right like the nakajima. Found 2 clones with 341 in their model numbers somewhere, plugged in juki 341 and voila.

I think the stitch length dial was the key to quickly telling them apart. A little googling later, I now have the 341 manual, which is a great start. Thanks again!
