My $5 machines
First up is the Morse model 350. Its super clean and works if you sew slowly. If you speed up to normal speed it makes a clanking sound. Its also dryer than the Sahara.
Next up is the Necchi. It was marked $30 but the woman couldn't get anyone to buy it so she sold it to me for $5. Its very dry but sews wonderfully.

I love your old "finds" for $5! I'm glad you rescued them! I have a hard time by-passing old machines at the junk stores. They remind me of old dogs that no one wants anymore just because they are old. But I think the old machines are great.
I have a new Husqvarna Viking Ruby Deluxe for embroidering but am using and old Elna Su that was going to be junked because it didn't work. I asked if I could have it. So brought it home and took it apart and oiled everything that moved. Let it sit for a few hours, now all the cams turn, goes in reverse and sews a beautiful seam. Sews quilt blocks great!! I'm glad I rescued it...

I don't understand what you mean by "dry." Just that they need oiling? Interested because I recently bought a Necchi (but paid $40!) and haven't done anything with it yet. It's an Electra SX-4000. If anyone knows where I can get a manual for it I'd appreciate it very much!
