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..
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2020/09/DSCF8970.jpg?v 60787077) it's a White 769
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2020/09/DSCF8975.jpg?v 7566778) 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 ![](icons/icon_smile.gif)

It's also known as 'My Fair Lady".. 'Selectronic' White 769 here is what the front plate looks like, that is missing...
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2020/09/769.jpg?v 4868648) is that Kool or what!?!?.. now to keep my eyes open...

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!!

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 Those older machines were built to last; lots of metal, no wimpy plastic like todays new electronic marvels that are outdated in 10 years.

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!!

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!

Grace---your machines are beautiful--and I cry because I don't have time to sew on one. Girl---you have got it made. You rock for sure.
