    Looks to be in great shape. Both the machine and the cabinet.
    Glenn has a tutorial on restoring the finish on these old treadle cabinets.
    It's well worth reading.

    I just had a thought. Is there anything that contacts the side in the picture?
    If not I may be able to patch it enough to keep it together.

    Are you going to have enough glue? ;)

    Neat setup. I can see why other manufacturers just added a lever to a foot controller though.

    The first one was I gave up buying light beer. It was giving me heart burn. No regrets on that one and it's been easy to keep.

    I'm sorry. I don't own any Necchis. I'm not sure how different the hand wheel area is from other machines.

    It was made by National and is a 3/4 size machine. It's on my "want" list due to the deco faceplate and because it will round out my set of National machines of that time frame.
