"hi tammy
my name is fabian and i got a problem defining the type of my necchi i bought recently on ebay. it was sold as a necchi lelia 513, but the sign is missing. and all the pictures i can find on the internet showing this type look a bit different, also the machine in your manual does ( thanks a lot for scanning and putting it online :) ). but i found one picture on google showing a machine, looking the same as mine does, except for the color and the desk ( mine is in a box). could you maybe tell me wether its a type 513 or not? would be a great favour.
i already say thanks a lot and nice greets from germany"

From looking at the photo Fabian included in the email and comparing it to my machine it is a Necchi Lelia 513. Below are new photos I took today.

I just purchased a Lelia 513 and am looking for a manual. Do you by any chance have one that you could email to motupipi@rocketmail.com?
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy I just got given a Necchi 513 yesterday! How lucky is that? Not tested or checked it out yet. I am going to download the manual, so thanks so much for that.
ReplyDeleteIf you pop over to my blog you will see that I ran a free class on sewing for 15 ladies. One of them, Julia, came up with this Necchi and a Singer Featherweight 100. A friend of hers was throwing them away. Even if I have to pay to get them repaired I think it will be worth it.
Can you drop the feed dogs on a Necchi 513? As we are doing some free style stuff if the machine works :-)

I have a Necchi sewing machine starting with a serial number U10. How do I tell what year it was manufactured?
ReplyDeleteIm trying to date an old Necchi machine. It is straight stitch and reverse only. The machine is green in color. when I lift it out of the case, on the front edge is the number 15-5077735. Underneath is the number ITALY 8004. on the front of the machine under the stitch adjustment lever at the bottom it says BCJ MADE IN ITALY. Any information you might give me is much appreciated ..
