Picked this up at GW for $15.00. The paint is in horrible shape but everything moves freely so not too bad a deal I think. It has the wonder wheel but did not come with the disks for it. My goal is to strip it completely and do a repaint. Already found and ordered the missing parts, so this weekend I begin the tear down.

Interesting - I have one of those - and never noticed the Necchi BU on the plate on the back.

As far as I'm concerned, the Wonder Wheel is an interesting novelty, but way more bother than it's worth, so I had DH" take it off.

Wow that paint is terrible. I have to wonder if the surface was ill prepared before the spray.

I notice that there is a zig zag foot on it and am wondering if it has a left homing needle like the Necchi Alco that I have. Wonder what the deal is with the straight stitch feet for these machines. I have two with the left homing needles and both came with the zig zag feet. Neither machine has a needle position option either, so I can’t adapt that way.

Martina58. The lever about the stitch width lever lets you choose L, center or R homing. On the first pic above, it is set for right.
