I had to go and buy one of these.
With thanks to Mitzy on Ravelry, I've manage to work out what the little mystery box is, it's a knitleader that lights up the needles to assist with shaping. And no earthy good if you can't read the Japanese instructions. Never mind it's a lovely machine.

| Mystery box which is an early knit leader - all in Japanese |

| Brother KH355 NaNa carraige |
Thanks to Mitzy again, who found the Japanese method of
changing the sponge bar. Which I thought would be nice in English. So here's mine
The sponge is enclosed in plastic and is changed from above
 |
| The top comes out by pinching the ends |
 |
| The tape is on one half of the machine |
 |
| and rolls off |
 |
| lift up the electronic board and carefully remove the old sponge |
|
|
 |
| Brushing out the fluff then insert the new sponge |
 |
| put the circuit board back into it's clips and line up the lugs at the back and roll forward |
 |
| locate the white pegs into their slots, making sure it all lines up and press down |
Now my NaNa is ready for a test knit! As far as I can tell, (which means as much as Mitzy could find out for me) it was only made for the Japanese market. But I hope the pictures are interesting.
