I recall the bobbin case was missing, and there was no book, of course, and no attachments.
The cord looks like it needs replaced. Have fun! I'm sorry I let it pass me by.
Yup.
I didn't ask about the bobbin case on either; he's developing a good eye for spotting the machines, but doesn't really know enough about them (yet!) for that sort of thing to register. The cord does need replaced-there's no foot pedal at all. Also, the light is broken. But for a Necchi, I figured it was worth the fixing up it's going to need.
When I actually lay hands on this one, I'll let him know what to look for next time. Still, not bad for a first effort! And I'm all for encouraging him to keep an eye out for old machines for me. :D
talk about a small world. It amazes me. When I first read your post..I remember thinking this description is all-too-familiar. Quickly I looked to see where you are from. Va. I thought, good I"m safe. Can possibly still go down and get today or tomorrow. But when I saw the photo, I yelped!! Could not believe someone had fingers reaching from Va. LOL Have fun. I'm so happy for you.
