- | A Necchi Sewing Machine. Fairly old vintage. | + | 1/29/2017 - Replaced badly decayed cord in plug/pedal mechanism. Seems to be working better. Pedal should probably have a base added. Plug part is now plugged into a cheapo surge protector that's kind of holding the whole thing together. Whole assembly should probably be reworked, but this will get it moving. Replacement motor/pedal might be a good idea too (already on hand, though lamp would have to be wired differently). |

+ | 8/08/2017 - Laying a zigzag stitch was accomplished! Also printed out some threading instructions (very useful!) | ||
