Necchi went through a very dark period after the Super Nova. Their Lydia was perhaps the worse machine ever conceived though it looked cool. They transferred their production to Japan and the quality went down, down, down. The Italian machines are gems. Later machines were made of poorly designed plastic that cracked and rendered the machines virtually useless. I say save anyone exposed to this model the heart ache and send it to the landfill with the rest of it's friends.
