SEIKO - What kind of sewing machine is this?

[jimi]

Yakumo is the closest i can find to your model. Does your foot flick or does the needle feed on your machine??? This is a Yakumo DDU-N73 in the video  but the foot flicks on this one??

IIRC Yakumo is the brand of at least one of the machines used by a recent poster from Taiwan, given the extremely high quality of his work , I don't think he'd use a brand that was not a good one..Seiko made machines for other brands..Consew I think was one ..

No idea where you could look to find info on Seiko serial numbers, other than to suggest that you email Seiko themselves..

Thanks mikesc. From what I see, the difference is that the yakumo has a walking foot and my Seiko has a walking needle. Besides, my machine has a back stiching

The one in the video,yes but the one in the picture above i think is the same as yours. in the video the front of the head is different having the jump foot bar in the front like this adler 105.

I think it looks like my Adler 105-6, which is drop feed only.

Nakajima also made this machine as a "DD-N73" and branded it Yakumo as well. I would suggest that anything branded by Nakajima or Seiko will be very good quality. There are hints that this machine was their take on the Singer 45K.

Looking for and I'm looking for a 305 - 64 Chandler. Don't you think it s an identical machine with my Seiko?

I'll have to look through some old Consew and Seiko catalogs when I get back to the shop.  Info does not seem to be on the web nor is it a new current model Seiko.
