He was thrilled, said his wife has had it two years and never did anything with it, so he was getting rid of it. I didn't even know the number until I got home to look it up. It is a 319W !!! Serial number W1669240. All the parts seem to be there, but only one cam. There are 3 bobbins and 3 needles. He was happy to be rid of it, and I was tickled "green". Are they collectable??? Much newer than what I am used to.
When did they make these machines??? Texas Jan Texas Jan Texas Jan |

Nancy I've seen this machine with many badges on it. I think Necchi sold these as clones to different folks who put their own label on it. So, I don't believe it to be a rare machine at all. Though, if Necchi made it, it's sure to be a very reliable and wonderful machine. If you buy it, but it for that not because it's rare. Because these are out there on the market with lots of different names on them. Nancy |

These machines commonly have a lot of wear to the decals, and rarely do you find one in perfect shape. You're going to look for all the things that you would normally look for in a vintage machine....condition, movement, etc. The cabinets are an asthetic issue, and totally up to you. (Would depend on the machine model for me) I think the D9 (seems to be the most commonly found) is about the only machine I'd be picky about decals on... Keep in mind that the needles for ALL of the W&W machines are obsolete...but they are starting to come out with replacement needles again...I've seen them on ebay.... What kind of prices are we talking about? |

What kind of prices are we talking about? Chris, there are photos of my W&W 8 on page 4 of the vintage machines photo thread. ALL of the decals on the W&W machines are delicate. For $20 you can't really go wrong...I'd buy both of them...the attachments are easy to tell the difference and to sort out. Make sure you get the names of the ladies that have owned them if you can, makes the machine a lot more interesting in my eyes... :) |

comparison link: http://www.thetreadlersvillage.com/S...19forsale.html It sure looks like a 319. Thanks for the link. Those weird typewriter keys on the top are very interesting! I guess this is one of those models that never really took off since you just don't see them? Anyone own one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7PVL...E82789647888E5 I thought it looked pretty cool but I guess the bobbin, on that model, is inconvenient to change (you have to do it from underneath the machine :shock: ) so maybe that's why you don't see too many of them. After watching the video, though, I wanted to get one :-D :roll: |
