There is a vintage Necchi sewing machine group on Yahoo. Look for Necchi_Sewing_Circle and necchisewingmachineclub. They have manuals for many of the machines in the "files" section of the group. (Actually, you have to join the posting group first; then you can join the group where they keep all the manuals online.) Necchi is really different, so it helps to have a manual.
