Default Necchi Nora

Here is the 1959 Necchi Nora I got last weekend. Got the foot pedal, the clear embroidery foot, the manual (filled with interesting papers and stitch tests) and all. twelve. cams!

She only sewed the straight stitch (shipped upside-down!), but I don't think the shipping caused it. It took about 4 hours to take apart, fix the stitch length and un-jam the ziz-zag, and clean everything up. She runs verrrrry smooth by hand, but I won't get to try out the motor till the weekend probably.

The coolest thing is it can be treadled!! The Nora is one that was still available for non-electric setup. Mine has the Necchi Sewing Circle motor added by the US distributor.

I have this idea how to convert a cabinet...
