'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. Hi 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. If 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:-) Joan.
