I have a couple of sewing machines for sale at the moment, one of the is an Empisal, which I had never heard of before but is a Japanese make, using the same working as the old Jones machines, but with a more powerful motor. I was looking on t’internet for info and found what purported to be a free manual. Do scroll down the page and have a read, I’m not sure what it is a manual for but it reads like surreal poetry…

I think my favourite bit is: “The tongue-fishs of precludes were dyspeptic of empisal sewing machine manual.It had cancelled the unappetizingnesss of these coalesced and bernina 200e sewing machine disclosed ceremonials, pedagogically it was inhalant.” Exactly.
I also found a very good sewing machine advice page, especially for old Singer and Jones models, good tips on dating old machines, plus cleaning and maintaining. And it actually is a good informative website, this time I’m not joking.

I'm sorry I don't know offhand, if you can't find one on an internet search the best advice I can give you is to try the sewing forums such as pattern review or the sewing forum. forums are a wealth of information on things sewing related.

Empisal sewing machines are now made/distributed in South Africa. I believe that they used to be made by Janome. I have an old Empisal Super Stretch which I bought when I was in my teens nearly 35 years ago. I've used a few different machines over the years and was even given a near new Brother machine but I keep going back to my faithful Empisal. It's solid, uncomplicated, reliable and faster than any of the other machines. If anyone is looking for good solid machine go for an Empisal.
