Had a relapse. *heaves big sigh*
OK, for those of you who were placing bets as to how soon I'd fall off the wagon, time to collect:

Necchi Lelia 513, found at a thrift store, $6.40. Sorry for the dark pictures; it's actually in good shape. The paint on the hand wheel is flaking (common problem with Necchis of this era) but the toggle switches are great (they're often broken off) and the rest of the paint is OK despite a few dings. No pedal or power cord but that's an easy fix. The inside was really clean -- all I had to do was oil it. The badge fell off as I was wiping down the exterior (petrified glue) and the stitch selection knob is missing.
I'm a sucker for Necchis and seeing one on the shelf next to Casio keyboards and garden tools had me in rescue mode.
