Leon, our member at large from Kansas sent his news of a great thrift store find.

Iris has been a gardening fiend this spring and summer, wearing me out.. I still have time to hit some thrift stores when I am parts chasing or getting mulch though. News below for all.

I found a Necchi Supernova Ultra in a thrift store a few weeks back. I was excited till I did not find a controller with it (sigh) Last week I went to the same store and saw the same pink machine. Later on, by another machine I found a little plastic bucket. It had a cam box labeled Necchi.. OOOOOH.. what else may be there? Yes, a controller, and more cams, and feet and manuals for the machine and the cams. You bet I snagged it then. I cut out a thread nest. Oiled it. It took two tries of threading before it started making nice stitches. It still has a few frozen controls, but I've just started the process. GF, Iris, is falling in love with it.
Wishing I was in upper altitudes of Colorado.
