Default White 1164 Fantasy

Hi all Picked up a White Fantasy machine today. really neat machine but trying to find any info on it. Looks like it is really a Vigorelli badged by White. I have the manual and the cams. It is pretty clean but has been sitting for some time. very quiet machine. the bar moves back and forth to make the decorative stitches. if anyone has info, it would be greatly appreciated... this is my fist non singer vintage machine. the bill of sale is with it. 3/18/66 and cost $269.

I haven't seen one where the cams go in on the front like that. Neat find.

Fantastic find. That looks to be a machine that one would definitely need a manual for. At first, when I saw needle plate I wondered if it was like a Necchi SuperNova. Then I took a look and thought that maybe it turned around for straight stitching or zigzag. Then I realized the needle plate actually moves??? when it is set for zigzag. I will have to watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNXX7O7cWTc There is another one that needle plate moved that is badged differently but has that movement Nelco Amica

Have fun. Would like to see some pictures of how it sews.

Does your cabinet have the ink well in the upper left drawer?

Hello, I have an opportunity of purchasing one of these models. What are they going for? I am from Canada so price points and availability are different.

Wow! My favorite cabinet (which I don't have yet, can't find them around here for under $75) and a really unusual White! With cams and manual is a fantastic find. Congrats on the score!
