White Rotary and Necchi
I bought these two machines yesterday. The White was listed for $30 and the add said he would throw in a second machine. He told me it was a 1970's machine but never said the brand. I was surprised to see Necchi on it. I expected a Kenmore. I'm really excited about them but could use some help. Does anyone know what year these are?
Necchi:
It was made in Japan. 1970's?
It didn't come with any extra feet but it came with about 30 bobbins.
The machine works but I haven't tested it out yet.
White Rotary, serial number FR3281647
I love White and Domestic sewing machines.
The best I can tell this is from the 1920's. Does that seem correct?
The cabinet needs some work and the machine is FILTHY!
Does anyone know of a good resource for hinges? The Martha Washington cabinet needs new hinges for the left side that has to drop down to let the top open.
Also, I new cord has been put on the white from the cabinet to the wall. It's bright white. I'm wondering if there are new cords made to look like the older style.
Any help or advice on either machine would be very appreciated.
