    I have my Mothers Wizard just like yours!! Her first machine, she made all our clothes with it. It is a work horse machine and she could fly on it!! Very reliable machine!! Nice to see another one. Hers came from a local hardware store in about 1959 or 1960. Great memories!😊

      That's great. Glad to know there are more out there and that they are good machines. That checks out, as since this video we have come to understand that the Wizard brand was sold as a homewares brand at a hardware store. Thanks for sharing!

    Older machines are simply better. I have a Jones Buttonmatic and i could probably throw that thing off a building and it would still work perfectly

    I am totally fan-girling over here!! Love all of these machines. My first machine (that wasn't my mother's) is a New Home. She has something wrong, which I haven't figured out yet so she is sitting in a closet right now. I miss her even more after seeing the 2 New Homes you showed. Thank you for fueling my sewing machine addiction!! I would love to see more detailed about each of these machines.

Glad that we are helping you fuel your machine hobby. That is the very best part of making videos :) Thanks for the comment!

    hi there. I love your new haul. I see something similar with the Sewmor and a machine I had. It was a Dressmaker 7000. I think if you look at that manual you will see how you hold in the R button and adjust that slider below it (or some sequence like that.) The first New Home you showed reminds me of my Kenmore 158. Very similar. I am super excited for the second New Home as well. I hope you get to do embroidery on it and show us how that is done.
    You made some great purchases. Happy you rescued them. I have been doing some of the same. I am doing a series on painting a Featherweight if You wan tot take a look. Very different from what you are doing but in the same vain.
    Keep them coming. Congrats on the new Baby Shark!!! Grands are perfect. Stay safe. Be well.

    I absolutely love your videos. I think sewing machines and their history are so interesting. We’ve been gifted a Monarch that we need to check out. At first glance, it may only need a new cord. Have you acquired one and done a video on it. If so I’d love to see it.

      The Coronado was sold by Gambles, too. It was actually a Brother but branded a Coronado. My mother found out the hard way that the Gambles man wasn't a sewing machine repair expert.

    I had that same New Home XR-7. They're quite rare, because they cost $900.00 US, in 1979. The manual is almost impossible to find, but someone in a New Home FB group uploaded one-- it's essential. By the way, the brown button isn't the reverse switch (as I wrongly assumed and almost broke the machine.) It's some sort of needle stop control, I think. There's plastic gears and a small circuit board inside. A broken gear did mine in. Also a thrift find, not near as nice as yours & no case, though it did have all its on-board feet! Good luck with all your new sewing buddies, and congratulations on the biggest treasure of all, that sweet grandbaby!

    • @tessTN
      @tessTN Před 3 měsíci +1

      Forgot to add, the B. S. setting is for basting stitch. It will sew one stitch with each press of the pedal. The sewing bed just pulls straight off. Just friction pins hold it on. If I still have a copy of the manual, I'll let you know.

    • @NeverTooMany2023
      @NeverTooMany2023  Před 3 měsíci

      That is all really great info. Thanks! Ya, I really love that machine. I can't wait to get it up and running. Sorry to hear that you had a gear go down in yours. This seems like the kind of machine that would be good to have a 2nd parts machine around. Not likely to run across another one at a thrift store, but will definitely keep an eye out :) Thanks for sharing!

    • @NeverTooMany2023

    New Home was purchased by Janome in 1960 but kept their branding because they were such a good, reputable name in sewing machines. The first New Home machine looks like it might be a grandfather to the Memory Craft line. What a gold star find!!

    First and foremost when it comes to machine reviews. I want to know which ones have absolutely no plastic insides esp.the stitch cam. People that sell machines online never address this besides saying the machine is "running" simply because it goes hop hop.
