LOL My husband asks if there are any new free machines out there needing to be rescued for the day. I have no space, but he thinks its cool that I like to rescue them. He states they make the home cozier, adds additional character to the backroom that has turned into the sewing room.

:thumbup: True!!! LOL

I know, right? I mean, how does one ignore the machine that once gave someone a way to supply her family with clothing and bedding? They HAVE to come home with me! ;)

To many machines
 

The problem I have is that I have the table saw, band saw. comp. etc. Not to mention my 1949 Chrysler Windsor.:o

I like that cabinet and I'm trying to get my husband to take on the project of making me one like it just because he can and it's such an oddity. I like the compact looks of it when all folded up. I keep telling him it would make a really good indoor winter project since he has a heated workshop. We'll see.

There is a Yahoo group you can join called Necchi sewing Machine club. It is a group for Italian made Necchis. They have manuals you can download and lots of information. You can get any questions answered there to. It also has a good file on cleaning the insides of the machine.
You got a good buy. I got a Necchi BU Mira and cabinet on Freecycle. Cleaned it all up and rewired it. I love it.

I'm glad to know about this group because I have recently received a Necchi Supernova BU and I really need the manual to make sure it is working properly. Thanks for sharing !!

I am still not receiving notices of posts in the Vintage Shop, and have tried things people have said. :(

Is it bad that when I first saw this, I read it as "they" meaning spouses?? :) I guess there is one advantage to just having pets around. They think everything I drag home is wonderful and great fun to smell! :D

Glenn my dad bought a '38 Cadillac LaSalle yesterday and the guy gave him 3 Fords 2 1950 coupes and a 1951 4 door. He called me up and told me that I can have the three Fords if we can build one of them together. So it looks like I will have a father/son project going building another hot rod.

Thats not to mention the 4 machines that I bought the other day that I have to go pick up this weekend.

Oh Billy what a wonderful project for you and your Dad. My son and I have so much fun working on our cars together. I can't think of a better thing for fathers and son to do together. He cleans sewing machines pretty good to. We always finish the afternoon with a bar-b-que and beer with the whole family and grandkids to play with to. I am glad you are feeling better and are up to doing a few things now.:thumbup:
