Electric motor type Foot controller type Works well, and the paint is in good condition for its age. The motor has a speed switch (L/H) for fast/slow. It has a light on the machine. The instruction manual may be downloadable from the Janome HP. I will thread the machine, include a needle, and ship it with the bobbin thread wound. The following accessories are included: Main unit and carrying case with handle Foot controller Needles Bobbins This is an antique item, so we cannot accept claims for malfunctions.
