Have you ever visited Billy's (Lostn51) Vintage Sewing Machine Shop on this board?
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-43881-1.htm
It's where most vintage sewing machine collectors on this board hang out. We post photos of our latest vintage finds, drool over what others find, and get tips and such about all of the different everything and anything there is to know about vintage machine. To date, there are only 1263 pages. Start at the beginning or at the last page, post a 'hello' and then just follow along.
Let me warn you though... it can get addictive and everyone will want you to post photos of your Necchi. :-D
