Oh, you, enabler! What a nice piece of collection!
I have no way to persuade my husband to go get me another sewing machine right now: I have two cabinets piled in our bedroom, waiting to go to their new home. He's the one who is going to Ottawa, so I can't get it and hide it somewhere :-)
Looks like the Necchi; what could be the mecanism on the right? A Wonder wheel?
Don't know if Candace have this one...

I don't have this one but it looks like a 117L

It's a zig zag/S.S. only. If it were near me and decently priced, it would be mine.

OK, then I'll tell my wife not to break it ...

I think you're o.k. Joe. My 930 still has its original belt and it's fine. I've had pretty poor luck with some of the newer lug belts. They seem to fall apart rather quickly:<

I used to have a Bernina 807, loved that machine. It was so quiet. I'm sorry I sold it, was mostly my travel/classes machine. I had everything that went with it.

I have this one. Bought at an estate sale. Was bidding against a guy who wanted it for parts but I got it in the end. Fritz is a trooper and I love using him but he's a heavy dude. I don't believe it has a wonder wheel as mine came with a manual and made no mention of that. Also came with about 10 or so bobbins.
