Strange necchi?.

[wildbunch]

Hello everyone.i've been reading this great for a while.and i recently registered here.

I can buy a necchi machine,but can't find it any where on the internet

Its a free arm machine,singer and adler like.

But...i think the head is not complete.

Who can help me whith this?

Post model number and most import some good pictures. The one I have seen a while ago was very much like the Pfaff 335

Hello Constabulary

I dont no the model number.is on marktplaats .

I can't get a picture on it.at the moment on the way. It has a grease tray on top of the machine,like the 45K1 i have.

But behind the needle holder bar above,is a wider round groom hole,thre is even a red lubrication point on it.

[Constabulary]

well, no picture, no model number, no link - who do you think will know what you are talking about?

 

[wildbunch]

Sorry.i'll be home tonight,truying to post pics.just saw it's a necchi 17-537

Hoi, necchi is een Italiaans merk.  Zie je niet veel in Nederland.  Je zou Duitse ebay kunnen kijken voor onderdelen.

Sorry I was talking in Dutch to the guy. I'd go for adler or pfaff. Better with spare parts.

A quick google search only comes up with a 537, which is a domestic machine.

I had a Necchi once, beautifully made (and looking) machine, all metal housing, but it had a plastic cam stack inside that cracked! That was the end of that machine.

Pretty much like a Pfaff 23 - same class as Singer 17,  Adler 48 oder Seiko TF-6. I´m not sure but it could have a CB hook. The needle plate is definitely Pfaff type (as used on Pfaff 25 or 28).

By far not as heavy ad a Singer 45k - pretty much 2 classes lower than the 45K

Pfaff 23:

That looks like a cuff sewing machine for jacket and pants cuffs. I have a Singer left handed cuff sewing machine.

Thank you constabulary. i am not good with computers.

Then i better not take this one.but wait a bit,and look for a 45 with free neck.

ik heb de machine gekocht,i thought he had something.

I wonder what kind of needle fits in it.16x2 is almost impossible to get.

I want there V 69 and V 92 on use. what needle system do you use?

 

[Constabulary]

Nice! Please post some more pictures of this machine so we have a reference for other members.

Seems to be a Singer 16 needle so I would look for needle system 1738 which is also called 16x23 or 16x257 or DBx1 or 287 WH sometimes.

Or depending on the needle holder and / or the size of the hole in the needle bar you probably can use a more common needle like 134R or 135x17 but you have to adjust the needle bar height. The 2 mentioned have a ~2mm shank diameter whereas the original system has smaller diameter.

If it was my machine I would order a pack of lets say size 120 needle in 134R and just test if they fit. Adjusting the needle bar height is an easy task.

Just tried it with a 134LR needle.fits wel,stitches are good too.
