Red face Thrilled to pieces...

Hi from the beautiful state of Georgia. I have bought an Husqvarna-Viking machine today. Yay, celebrating! 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!

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.

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.
