Necchi Supernova info / reviews ?

Hi all. Today, I saw a very clean Necchi Supernova - at a Thrift Store. It was in a nice portable case - I didn't see much accessories .. ( sometimes the accessories are stored at the check-out ) Does anyone here have any experience with this machine ? Thanks in advance. John T.

I don't, but it's a very well thought of vintage machine. Here's a group that might be able to tell you more:

The Italian made Necchis are generally considered better engineered than the later Asian models.

Thanks again Kay. I did go back and buy the machine - $ 25. It was a little stiff - but loosened up with just a little oil. Heavy as a tank ! Very nice sewing - but limited to straight or zig-zag - no cam stack in this model .. The Yahoo Necchi Group was very good for downloading info - including an English language manual .. This machine came with a Dutch manual and original Dutch bill-of-sale .. I think ... 1957 - but the machine looked like new ! I decided to sell it - to a lucky lady - for $ 100. < not for the "profit" .. just glad that someone really wanted it -

- for the great old sewing machine that it is ! > .. now to sell the White 710 .. .. and I'll be down to 2 Elnas - not for sale. :-) John T.
