My great aunt gave me her White Model 77 rotary machine. It is in its original cabinet. Has all the original feet she bought with it. The origianl notepad w/pencil on string attached, bill of sale from Famous-Barr, manual, warranty, White Buttonholer, original oil can, too!

On the cabinet, the top drawer still has the Bakelite No. 60 needle "bin" for used needles and the second drawer has the bobbin and tool drawer that slides from front to back.

The only dirt is a touch of dust from sitting in her spare room for years.

I do have one question, can I use modern day sewing machine oil on this? I posted the question on the Vintage Come in and sit awhile page yesterday, but no answer or response to my post yet.

Thanks for looking!

Wow! She's a real beaut. I have a soft spot for rotary machines. I have 2 of them now. My DH seems to be able to find them for me. To answer your question.... yes you can use modern sewing machine oil on it. When storing her I put a wedge between the handwheel and the rotary part so that you don't flat spot the rubber on the rotary wheel.

I don't think the Singer sewing machine oil is any different now than it was back when? Isn't it still available? I need to get some too. Forgot to look and see if they had any when at WM Saturday.
