That is quite a haul! The prize in the photo is likely the Necchi since it has the wonder wheel. Did your attachments include the cams it uses?

I'm afraid not. But I did get a set of cams for a Signature machine but no Signature machine, maybe I can break out the dremel and make them fit the Necchi.

LOL! No idea. I've never seen any.

I've been looking for a little 185 at estate sales here. I'd love to have one to add to the herd.

I've used it on bobbin winder and belt guard assemblies for several 66s, worked OK, so I felt comfortable using it on an entire machine. Test it first on something you don't care about.

This won't work for all vintage machines, but I cleaned a nicotine stained 301A Singer with a Mr. Clean sponge, it worked miracles and didn't damage the surface.
