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.

wildbunch Report post Posted June 18, 2021 Sorry.i'll be home tonight,truying to post pics.just saw it's a necchi 17-537 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bemavu Report post Posted June 18, 2021 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dikman Report post Posted June 18, 2021 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.

Constabulary Report post Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/antiek-en-kunst/antiek-naaimachines/m1703886539-leer-naaimachine-gebruikt-voor-patchwork.html?previousPage=lr 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: https://www.google.com/search?q=pfaff+23&client=firefox-b-d&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=2YTZG27KdMIblM%2CEtY9M0A0uYrXWM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kTxARoNIs5P8-lreC_DuDBYGuljQw&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjh28WImKPxAhXJgP0HHRObCUoQ9QF6BAgIEAE&biw=1280&bih=852#imgrc=2YTZG27KdMIblM Edited June 19, 2021 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted June 19, 2021 That looks like a cuff sewing machine for jacket and pants cuffs. I have a Singer left handed cuff sewing machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildbunch Report post Posted June 19, 2021 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildbunch Report post Posted August 7, 2021 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited August 7, 2021 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
