    Default Machines that rotate clockwise thread

    Miriam has started several threads about various types of machines. So, I'm starting one for machines that rotate opposite the norm. Nuther words the hand wheel rotates clockwise.

    I'll start by posting pics of all the machines I have that rotate C.W.:

    Singer 9W-7, circa 1909-1913:

    Kenmore Deluxe Rotary Mdl. 117-812, circa 1948:
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]445079[/ATTACH]

    Kenmore Deluxe Rotary Mdl. 117-720, circa 1957:
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]445083[/ATTACH]

    Kenmore Electric Rotary Mdl. 120-491, circa 1954:
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]445080[/ATTACH]

    White DRESSMASTER Rotary Mdl 127, circa 1955:
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]445084[/ATTACH]

    Now, how about everybody else that has clockwise rotating machines post pics of yours.

    Joe, first off beautiful 9W. I like the panelled Kenmores too.
    Do you have any of the magnesium bodied White Rotaries or Domestics? I'm just wondering how much lighter they are than the comparably sized iron models. Specifically I saw a White 77MG, it looks like a 3/4 size machine and I'm wondering how it compares to a Singer 99K.
    Thanks,
    Rodney
    Thanks,

    Rodney,

    No I don't have any of the White magnesium machines .... yet. I keep my eyes open, but so far none have come my way.

    Caroline,

    That's purty. Does that machine use 15x1 needles or some other size?

    This one maybe old new stock or something.

    I think I have them on CL to no avail.
    There is also one of those real light weight machines somewhere around here. It still has store tags on it, too.

    Yes, it take an obsolete CC1221 needle. I was lucky that the machine came with one extra needle and a big box of original attachments. It does sew very nicely.

    Kathy, That dual stitch length control White is one I've been looking to add to my collection. I haven't found one yet. The dual controls just fascinate my wife. Joe
