Due to a long involved story, I'm at my Dad's for the next month or so, without a machine. (Why didn't I bring Betty the Backup? Dunno. Your guess is as good as mine.)
My aunt loaned me my cousin's Necchi 4575. Apparently it was a gift when it was new (When was that-late 80's? Early 90's?) but Cousin prefers her original Singer and might be persuaded to sell me this one, if I'm interested.
Am I? Dunno. My main sm is a Singer 237. Betty the Backup is a White from the mid-90's. She was actually my main machine until last year, and still sees some use; there are just some things that are worlds easier with a free arm. This would likely end up my backup.
This one was dirty-I cleaned the heck out of it-and smells like a wet basement, where it's been kept. It appears to work fine, and has no visible rust, so I'm no concerned about its innards. If I do get it, I'll take it to my osmg whenever it is I get back home. It does come with all its accessories and manual.
I know Necchi is a good name-is this mchine ok? Any quirks or foibles I haven't found yet? When was it
made? What do you think a reasonable offer for it might be?
