It was a wedding gift from her mother, that I never saw. It was briefly used and then put in the closet (in it's case) for almost the last decade.
Good news...
To my surprise, it seems to have been the top of the line (or near top) Janome from 10 years ago. I was able to find the approximate model on the English site under retired machines. It's the Memory Craft 10,000 or 10,001. It probably cost the better part of $1,000 back then:

It has a memory card slot, USB (older style) connection, and a computerized touch panel. It even has a help section for some basic functions that walks you through a brief "pictorial" tutorial.
Not so good news...
As I had feared, all the printed instructions and the touch panel were in Japanese. Not a good thing for so complicated a machine...
But then...I discovered how to convert the display to English! Now I just need to find a download for the English Manual.
Anyone know where to find old Janome manuals?
