Has Anyone Seen One Like This?
Recent purchase is to satisfy my curiosity. Saw this on eBay and my curiosity was piqued. The foot control, motor, and electrical connections are similar to my Necchi BU Nova. It takes standard class 15 1 o'clock bobbin and bobbin case. The interesting feature is a pump oiler. One can pump oil from a reservoir onto and into bearings via a top mounted thumb pump. The motor is tagged "Brother." There is no JA number. The bold boxy and weight are very masculine, not soft. It needs lots of cleaning but does run. But, I was wondering if it is a total anomaly or have others encounter such a machine. It was sold as an auction purchase from a retired tailor. Sounds plausible. Miriam? Joe? I know I paid too much for it, but, HEY, I don't gamble or drink. (Last sentence for my wife's benefit
.)

! No, actually that is a little parts container. If I'm going to lose small parts I prefer to lose them all together!
