Necchi BU Nova

I picked this up last night from a seller with a need to empty his storage unit.  I was more than happy to help.  For $50, I'm easy.

These BU Novas are pretty commonly found in my area.  They're a very cool zig-zag machine, this one with a 1.1 amp motor.  The articulated lamp and integrated cabinet with slide-in chair are what caught my eye as well as the machine's overall very good condition.

The cabinet will have to be completely refinished (after all the candle wax is peeled off -- they used the cabinet as a candle holder).  The seller didn't realize the machine was equipped with a knee pedal and priced the machine as if it had no pedal.  I pointed this out and he laughed and it didn't matter.
