There may not be an abundance of vintage Necchis around, but they are easier to find than the Ankers. For all I know they still use the same case.

First off, From me personally, Welcome to this end of the Asylum.
You must have done some homework to find this info and thank you for letting us know what you were able to find out,
and confirm it. You are right. Finding a Necchi part is MUCH easier than finding a part for an Anker.
I have had two Anker machines. So Precise. A real joy to use. Both of mine were the plain-ish black ones and one was badged Free Westinghouse. Yours looks beautiful. Much prettier than either of mine. And I LOVE the two upper tension knobs!
