    Mickey, I didn't buy any of the three machines; I just explored and took photos.

    My sewing room is very small and very full. Any new machines will have to be in photo form only. At least that solves the repair problems! I do pick up low shank presser feet, small machine accessories, and some types of vintage sewing notions on the few times I come across them.

    Nothing wrong with any of those machines that a little elbow grease and TLC won't fix. Matter of fact that Singer has better decals than the one I have.

    The White Rotary will say have "MG" as a suffix to the model number if it's magnesium.


    I've refurbished machines in worse condition back to functional condition.

    I'm aware of the 77MG and Domestic 153MG. The White 77MG weighs about 28 lbs IIRC. It is only slightly heavier than a Singer 99 but is a full size machine. Did White make other magnesium machines?

    Don't know for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me. My 77MG is fairly heavy, but I don't have a cast iron 77 to compare it to.

    White rotary 77MG103822 - 20 pounds balanced on a bathroom scale. Mine is dark gray, crinkly.....and my husband declared it the ugliest sewing machine he'd ever seen. The light on this one is built in on underside of the arm. It sews fine, although I haven't used it very much.
