Seeing a neglected machine makes me cringe a little, especially such a nice White like this one. A former owner had spray painted and faux-finished the rickety Singer table in which it sits. They neglected to cover up the machine, resulting in black overspray which took hours to remove. It looks a little better now but still needs a thorough cleaning.
The machine is a strong runner and with a 1.3 amp motor can really haul. Its distinctive looks and minimal functionality (for a zig-zag) makes this a strong, basic machine. It's my second 765 and in talking to the Necchi seller, I'm surprised it's in such good condition; he didn't really know anything about it and the table was being used as a TV stand, the machine being a heavy nuisance.
