Thrilled to pieces...
 

Hi from the beautiful state of Georgia. I have bought an Husqvarna-Viking machine today. Yay, celebrating!:D I'm wondering what year it was made. If anyone can help, I'd sure appreciate it.
The model is 49E, made in Sweden. I am so excited that I was able to purchase this for only $43.oo!! This is an extremely heavy machine... what was I thinking...!?? I am going to restore the cabinet and the machine itself runs quietly! Yay Yay Yay! :D:D:D:D:D:D

Congrats to you! Great price! Welcome from New York state!

Welcome from western NY and happy quilting :)
congrats on your new machine

Welcome from NE Ohio.

Thank you, I'm hoping to make new friends and learn from all of you!

Welcome from So. Cal. I have a Viking Deisgner Topaz 20 - which I love! Congratulations on finding yours.

Welcome from Arizona:wave:

Hello and welcome from Australia. I have a Husqvarna-Viking and it is 41 years old and still sews beautifully. Yes, they are a heavy machine but much better than the plastic ones available these days.

Good Morning
 

Thank you for responding. When I turned it on in the store, it ran smoothly and so quietly that I was instantly charmed. May I ask how you learned the age of your machine? I haven't been able to find my 49 Special anywhere except eBay, and that one didn't show a date. Also, it is selling for $602. 00! Imagine my shock upon seeing that price, although mine doesn't have any accessories. I would love to know the history of my model. If you can advise of any resource it will be greatly appreciated. :o
