National brand

[ekm92]

I've seen a National brand machine for sale but can't find any information about them online. I have two nishijin to be restored but ran across the National and didn't know if it was worth grabbing. Any recommendations where to find information or whether to avoid or make the purchase? thanks

National is kinda an odd company that I don't have much info on. National used to mainly make electronics and then later got purchased by Panasonic.

I believe national was only building machines for about 3-4 years at most. I had 2 national machines myself, but parted them out as they were in really bad condition. I would have liked to keep them as they has some odd styling choices that I liked.

These are the machines I had.

Thanks for info! The uniqueness of limited manufacture years makes them attractive and they seem to be in good condition plus they're in a double frame. Just don't know where I'd put them.

Double frame? Each machine has an extra frame around it...or two machines mounted in a single cabinet?

Two machines mounted side by side in a single cabinet.
