Necchi Mira wiring diagram?
 
Hey, all. Been ages since I was here, but real life took a chunk out of me and I'm only now catching up with myself.

Anyway. I picked up a Necchi BU Mira for cheap at a thrift shop recently, and the reason it was cheap was because someone took the motor wiring apart and couldn't get it back together again. I have the Singer wiring diagram and figured it would be easy to find a similar one for Necchi, only I'm not finding one. I did find an actual wiring diagram on on of the Yahoo Necchi groups, but I don't speak electrician. I also found step by step instructions on patternreview, but that one presupposes that you're the one that took it apart, so you'll know where stuff goes back to. I didn't, and I don't.

What I'd really like (barring someone just telling me what color wire goes on which pin) is a clear, easy-to-understand diagram. I'm really hoping such a thing exists! Failing that, I'm hoping that someone who knows more about this kind of motor than I do can point me in the right direction. If it would help, I can post a picture of it as it is now.

Hi, What makes this machine special is the wonder wheel and the cams. Did you get those also? It is a blast to watch the wheel go round and make beautiful stitches.

We have a B.U. Mira and the motor turned out to be bad. It is a two stage motor. DH had to rebuild it , took him two days.

Here you go, you may have to join but it would be worth it.

The necchisewingmachineclub group at Yahoo Groups has a lot of repair documentation, including (it appears) a wiring diagram for the BU machines, in the Files section (see, for example, the " BF +BU Mira+ Nova REPAIRS" folder).

I had found that one, but that diagram is a real wiring diagram, which I am apparently not interpreting well. I like Singer's diagrams, that look like a coloring page-*that* I can do! Although...upon further thinking, I may actually know a Real Electrician that I can trade pasta for knowledge with.

LOL :D :) Trade pasta for knowledge ..... oh that brings back memories.


Years ago a young lady needed help moving her furniture from a storage locker to her apartment. I had a big PU and she asked me if I could help. I said sure. She said, I don't have enough money to pay you, but I can make you a lasagna dinner. Well, Miller's law #2 is don't turn down food.

The lasagna dinner was great, the company was great, and we've been married 32 years last February.
