Have an ALCO A709-5 that is 30 years old made countless quilts,
clothing, drapes, curtains, etc, and it is still going strong. Just doesn't do buttonholes very well. Sometimes, when I'm sewing the 'clutch slips' and teh bobbin winder goes off on a tangent..DS tighten it with a 'screwdriver' so now when I need to wind a bobbin I have to untighten it--do the bobbins--retighten it and off I go : ) I call it Ole Fateful.

Sorry, we donated it just before we moved to AZ. Too bad I didn't know you
were looking for it. Butterfly "trinell" wrote in message ...

Necchi Alco Sewing Machine
Can you send me pixs of it--I might be able to help you --show where the
threads 'might' go thru (full frontal, and whole machine showing needle, and top) and I'll try to jog the memory of how I threaded mine. Butterfly (Butterfly - Wings @ cox . net ) "trinell" wrote in message ... Butterfly...thanks for your response. I'm very eager to use the machine, but don't have any instructions for it. I'll sit down to try to figure out the threading diagram and how to wind the bobbin sometime soon. Thanks. again. Trinell Butterflywings Wrote: Sorry, we donated it just before we moved to AZ.
