    About a month ago, there was a pristine looking Jolson sewing machine for sale from an estate. The starting bid price was too much for my wallet, but I was interested in it. The history on Jolson and his Nelco brand is actually quite something. A true 'bootstraps' immigrant story of ingenuity and engineering.
    Update: the machine didn't sell and it's up for sale again on Ebay. I just put another bid on it, but the reserve price is not met yet.

    SnowQuilt, Although I've not done this on a Necchi, I don't know why you couldn't perform a motorectomy.... Depending on your mechanical skills and comfort level,
    the easiest would be to find another Supernova SM to use as a donor.
    Have you considered joining the Necchi Yahoo group as Chris_Quilts and Irishrose had posted earlier to see if they had any suggestions?
    Without knowing what the symptoms are with your motor, start with the simplest solution first: have you oiled your SM and lubricated the motor ?
    Maybe others will have better suggestions for you but please keep us posted on how things work out.

    "You will be limited to smaller thread sizes (#92 top and & #69/92 bobbin) The machine you asked about is almost a century old shoe patcher. It has a tiny bobbin and produces very short stitches once you exceed 1/8" of leather. If the foot drive mechanism is worn out you may not get better than 7 or 8 stitches per inch. Its thickness limit is 1/4" under the foot.

    If you can try the machine before you buy it, do so. If the drive puck is worn out (very short stitches at max setting) and the moving parts are rusty, pass on it. If the seller wants more than $100 - $200, pass on it." This is what I found on it.
    I also found a manual for one similar http://parts.singerco.com/IPinstManuals/29-4.pdf

    Anyone near Wichita KS need a nice Singer in a pretty bentwood case? Price is good for the condition.

    Just thought I'd share a couple of photos of a partial set of White Attachments that I found this week. The last Patent Date on the Ruffler indicates Aug 23, 87. The copper colored metal box is a little rusty and the velvet lining has faded but the attachments look to be in good shape. I believe these originally went with the White VS IIb.
    According to the info that I've read, White only made the basic attachments - Many White's would have attachments made by Goodrich, Greist, and Johnson.

    I have just that treadle with a partial box as well. My Box is a little different, black in color.

    Was it a "buy it now"? Those are hard to come by and ultra high priced, at least for my pocketbook.

    Monica, love the quilt! I like your idea for the binding too! Great job, that young man is very lucky to get a home made quilt!
