I have two White Rotary machines. My treadle version is in the "hubby spa" getting re-worked. It was handed down to me by a very dear family friend. Mary Gertrude, serial #25247 (named after the great-grandma who used it), has seen a lot of use. Her finish is quite worn and the decals almost gone, but the sentimental value of this machine means more to me than anything.
It's tough to see her all torn apart, but hubby is really giving her a good go-over to get her innards good as new. This is a learning process for both of us. I can't wait to be able to sew with her! In the process he's discovered that he really likes tinkering with machines.
That's awesome, because I have a second rotary machine to work on. That one is a beauty and has been electrified. I can't wait!
Jeanie welcome aboard. I see you have already gotten the bug! You have two White Rotary machines now, but if you stay on this board you will have plenty more vintage machines before long. There is a vintage sewing machine bug that the rest of us have contracted - there is no cure! It is a lot of fun, though, and most of us don't want to find a cure! We need to see a photo of the second White?
