2 New to me machines
I went to the thrift shops today looking for something totally unrelated to sewing or machines in general. I was looking for a salad spinner to dry veggies before freezing. I found the salad spinner for a buck and was happy. This one flea market had these 2 sewing machine that they had had for about 6 months and couldn't sell, both marked $25. I asked if they could contact the vendor to see if they would take 1/2 for one of them as I really didn't want the other. The vendor was on site and said he would take $12.50 each if I took them both. Needless to say I'm a push over when it comes to vintage machines so I got them. I'll get pictures up tomorrow when its a little bit lighter but here's a description,
Machine 1 (the one I wanted) and looks like 50's retro
Brand: Vigetti/De Luxe Zig Zag made in Japan
Model: 139
Color: Tan/cream
Original Case in rough shape
Machine 2
Brand: Elgin but made by Standard Sewing Equipment Corp.
Model: 159
Color: White/cream
Plastic new fangled case
Both machines are stuck and a little rusty underneath but not too bad.
The Vigetti is stuck and it appears to be at the bobbin so no real big deal
NO PLASTIC inside or out for both machines so I'm happy.
When I did a search for the manuals the Pfaff kept coming up for the Vigetti. Did Pfaff make this machine? Still didn't find a manual for either machine.
