Nelco
Does any one on here know anything on a Nelco Model R350 serial 077589 sewing machine I just bought it at a used clothing and furniture store and I have never heard anything on it. If so please tell me how old it may be and are they good machines. It weights a ton seems like it. Thanks any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Weenween. Aka Arlene.

Nelco has an interesting history. As I understand, the company began by a salesman who marketed the machines as a marriage of Necchi and Elna machines. I believe Necchi then sued as the Nelco machines (made in Japan) had absolutely no connection to Necchi. Or something like that.
Anyway, I almost bought a Nelco Lyra last year. I always wondered why the machine had an Italian-sounding name and I suppose it was intentional.
