The original Necchi tires when they get old they crumble like hard wax. When I first got my Lelia I couldn't figure out what the bits of waxy stuff was down in the bottom of the case until I took the top off and saw what was left of the bobbin tire. Yeah, they're special, the dealer I went to charged me $4 for a new one.
