Please Help Me ID this Nelco (and find a manual)
Hello:
I bought a used Nelco sewing machine for my 15-year old daughter. She wants to take classes at JoAnn and I thought this might be a good machine to start on. I got it at an auction. While I don't know much about sewing machines in particular, I do know a bit about mechanical things in general, and this appears to be a well-made little piece of machinery. Anyway, I've found some places on-line that have manuals, but I can't get a definitive model number on this beast. There is a plate on the front that just says "Sew 'N Go", A serial number plate on the base with SN R-15462, and a plate under the arm that has info on the distributor and the phrase "Golden Stitch Series". I have pics you can view at: http://www.wallyblackburn.com/nelco Can anyone please help me get a solid model ID on this machine so that I can search for a manual? Thanks in advance, Wally PS If anyone on the group needs help identifying a vintage metal lathe or other piece of metalworking equipment, contact me first . |

First off - thanks a lot for your reply. Not to question someone who
surely knows more about these things than I do, but there appear to be a few differences between the machine pictured at that link and mine. Should I ignore things like different knobs and such? Unfortunately, there are not pics of the other Nelco models at that site. |

It is not the same, in fact yours is not even a Nelco. It is the Sew N Go,
also came as Dial N Sew and probably a few others. The threading may be the same a the other poster states but the patterns and such will be different.. -- Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine PO Box 60 Sand Lake, NY 12153 518-469-5133 http://www.a1sewingmachine.com wrote in message oups.com...

The threading may be the same a the other poster states but the patterns and such will be different.. Well, considering that one of the OP's photos was of a badge stating clearly the name NELCO, perhaps he could be excused for assuming that this was, in fact, the marque. -- AJH no email address supplied |

I agree that dealer label is misleading, one might also assume it to be an
Necchi or Elna, or perhaps even made by hand by Mr. Jolsen. -- Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine PO Box 60 Sand Lake, NY 12153 518-469-5133 http://www.a1sewingmachine.com "She who would like to be obeyed once every Preston Guild" wrote in message ...

No. It says that Jolsen is the dealer, and that he also sells ncchis and Elnas. The Nelco symbol implies, at least to the uninitiated, that the machine is manufactured by Nelco. Tell you what, I'll send you some pics of some of the machines in my possession, and you can tell me who made them. I reckon I know, but you might have to look carefully -- AJH no email address supplied |

I do not wish to debate with you. I can tell you I have forgotten more about
sewing machines than you will ever know. -- Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine PO Box 60 Sand Lake, NY 12153 518-469-5133 http://www.a1sewingmachine.com "She who would like to be obeyed once every Preston Guild" wrote in message ...

Ron is being polite and helpful, and you are responding belligerently. Please pick a fight with someone else. Me, if you like... I'm neither use nor ornament here. |
