The first vintage machine I bought is still in pieces...........it did not need a full spa treatment but it sure was fun taking it apart ;)

My new "freebies". A friend got 4 sewing machines for me in a lot auction. One is a singer Model 416. I can't get it to stitch at all, so it is going down the road tomorrow. Then I got a Nelco Model 210 and can't find anything much on it. The 3rd is a Necchi Supernova that needs new wiring harness. The 4th is an old White rotary, that I will likely keep and play with. Anyone have any idea who might like the Nelco and the Necchi??

Okay all you enablers, while I'm still trying to fiddle with the tension on the 603, I saw these 2 listed - the first one I thought maybe could turn into a crank - if I could find a plate and I knew if it was okay - the second,well I don't know if I really have room for it, but it looks cool. Thoughts?

edited to add - never mind the second - it's interesting, but I don't need another Kenmore. Going for the 15, I think.

Your Necchi is awesome and I agree, a keeper!
