ok,, I just could not resist this one.. even though I don't need it nor have room for it..
But...
Welcome my newest sewing machine..
it's a White 769
easy peasy to use,, sews awesome.. and makes fabulous easy peasy button holes...
It was made between 1964-68..
Even though the machine has a carry handle,, it weighs a ton! lol!
But, the face plate is missing.. the foot plate is there so my hubby can fabricate the missing plate.. I suspect someone 'took' it as it had a Kool atomic design on it.. but,, I will keep my eyes open for it or at least a plain plate like the one on the 764 White machine...
Oh and it was only ... $15

She sure is awesome, isn't she Gracie? But you sure need to give yourself more credit! The student's work beautifully reflects the teacher's!

You should start a sewing machine museum with a sewing shop and workshop, Gracie, and a vlog, and give classes on how to repair, maintain and use the old machines. I bet more and more people are turning to purchasing second hand and older machines, and I bet you would be very popular for your knowledge and know-how!!! Not to mention that home ec isn't taught in schools anymore, at least not like we had growing up. People just don't know enough about skills like this nowadays. I know I would personally soak that right up - especially if it was you leading the charge!!

What a cool machine! I hope you can find that plate. I haven't seen that model before and love the handle on it. Those older machines were built to last; lots of metal, no wimpy plastic like todays new electronic marvels that are outdated in 10 years.

Nini,, I sooo agree...
Linda,, yep, searching the web...
As for now I am not doing any on-line purchasing or mailing until things calm down... big rigs on the side of the roads due to the hazardous fires and winds.. btw.. Linda,, I will mail your pkg out on Friday.. should be ok by then.

Wow, this is a cool looking machine. When you get it up and running let us know how it works and how you like using it. Wow, $15 is quite the deal!!
