The paint, chrome, and internal mechanisms, including the motor appear to be in very good condition. The machine being restored today is in very good condition to start with. The machine has a cast iron housing and is quite heavy and all of the drive mechanisms are made of metal. The machine is belt driven by a powerful internal 1.2 amp motor. The machine allows adjustment for different stitch lengths forward and back tacking. It has left-center-right needle homing, 3 position drop feed dogs, and uses a gear driven oscillating hook and a class 15 bobbin. It is also feature rich with a variety of 27 stitch patterns… 14 for pattern stitching, 10 of which are stretch stitches, and 3 of which are for button holes. Okay, so did the title read a little weird? Kind of sounded funny to me too, but it is a vintage all metal White model 656 sewing machine and it is Pink and White.
