I am thinking about buying a used/vintage machine for my young daughter to learn on. Someone nearby has a 1969 SINGER TOUCH & SEW MODEL 648 machine listed on Ebay for $55. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Anybody know anything about these machines? I think I'll head on over to google now....

It to has the owners manual and also the box of accessories and the original tool wrench. I will convert it back to a treadel as the only thing that I need is a belt. Does anyone know anything about the Phoenix? There is not a lot of information that I can find yet; however, the search is on now! Here are my purchases, not a bad $50 spent I think! |

The 600 and 603 both have metal gears. I have had one of each, and they worked great. The only thing to worry about on them (as far as I know) is the in-place bobbin winder. Sometimes they need work. |
Oh, my. Thanks for letting me know.

Can hardly wait to see pics! I am in love with Necchi's! That might become a problem!

My oldest daughter came along and brought her in. The finish is beautiful. What appears to be pits in the picture are just crud on the machine. There is a little wear on the front edge of the bed. The cabinet looks better than the picture, too. Very solid, but it does have some nicks on the legs. A knee pedal, which I actually like. She will need a new belt before any real sewing is done, but the whole machine sounds very quiet and strong. All my Elna attachments will fit. The feed dogs drop, so she can help the 301 with quilting. The harp is a little bigger than the 301.
Here is my $27 Necchi BF, number 600630. Necchi cabinet [ATTACH=CONFIG]183397[/ATTACH] Necchi BF [ATTACH=CONFIG]183398[/ATTACH] |
