The ones I have left look like they have never been used - looks like they were from a dealer. They have set around a long time and need to be checked over and cleaned. I'd like to get rid of them.

Well a magnet sticks to the machine so am thinking it's an older machine. That plus the top clamping attachments is why I'm thinking this. Anybody want to take a guess about his age.

Nancy, Now I see what you are stating about the belt.
Oh, and I love that nail polish that you are wearing. Nancy |

Chris, I agree with everything the ladies said except, I would use Tri-Flow grease, not Singer lube grease. Singer grease will get hot and fling off the gears. Tri-Flow sticks better. Joe |

Yes, it is old grease. I would just remove all that oil grease with q tips and toothpicks and then put new grease, Singer lubricant, on.
That machine looks very heavy. He is a handsome machine! |

Anamaria, That Necchi is in a very nice base. So, you will not need to worry about putting in a cabinet right away for you to use. It can sit on a table for some time until you find a Necchi cabinet. I have seen the non treadle Necchi cabinets on Cl from time to time. Oh, and those Necchis are very heavy machines; so, place it in a spot that it can sit for a long period of time, but at the same time you can use it.
I forgot about that pristine base.:) |
