    So ThingOne (21) texts me today and says he's out junking with his girlfriend's mom, and has just bought me a sewing machine. The he texts me again and says, no, actually *two* machines, pictures to follow. I had to export them to my computer to see them properly, but I've certainly trained him well!

    The first says Alco on the arm, but Necchi-Alco on the pillar. Is this a badged Necchi? I didn't know there was such a thing. It looks like a class 15 clone. It was $10, in the table.

    The other one was a Necchi BU, serie Nova. From the pic I got the bed is bubbled, but I'll have to see it in person. It was $12 in the kind of giant table with a left and right leaf and the chair that, when pushed in, makes it look like one piece of furniture. He didn't know that normally I don't buy the tables (I've got a big one like that besides) but gf's mom wants it, so it's all good.

    I've still only seen pictures-he's in OH and I'm in VA. We'll have to arrange a pony express among the cousins or something; I shudder to think of the price of mailing me two chunks of steel like that.

    Do I remember that Necchi's don't fit on Singer hinge pins? Do they fit on Pfaff pins? That's what's currently in my main table.

    VERY nice!!! You might want to join the necchisewingmachineclub group on Yahoo. They are very knowledgeable about Necchi's.

    I was hoping there was a yahoo Necchi group, but hadn't had a chance to look yet. Thanks!
