Here is the link for a free.pdf copy that. White Rotary 77 Sewing Machine Parts For Sale. White Rotary Sewing Machine Model 77 Presser Bar Take up/Lifter Lever. Tailor Professional 834 Sewing Machine Manual. Nov 07, 2010 OK, so today I bought a vintage White rotary series 77 sewing machine. (A coworker who knows of my vintage SM fetish called me to a rummage she was at to view the machine. And yes, I know that's one of the cardinal signs of SMAD.) The machine is a crinkle-finish olive green color and is in a dark-colored cabinet.
There are several style cabinets for this machine and this along with outward appearances will be the determining points for the value of this machine. Working order is also a factor but repairs can be made to the machine that cannot be made to the cabinet.
These machines are popular so you will always find several for sale on eBay (the most popular auction site).
The problem with items like this is the cost or inability of shipping which means that most listings (anywhere) will be for 'pick up only' which means only people in your immediate area would be looking to buy your machine.
That limits your selling area so most of the time you would be just as well off with posting an ad on your local Craigslist or any other local auction site.
Craigslist is very good because anyone interested in your machine can see the actual product. Of course, there are always safety precautions to take when selling locally.
You can always start at a high price ($300 - $500) and lower the price if you are not getting any 'takers'.
Craigslist is very easy to use just be sure to put lots of information and lots of photos - especially of the cabinet.
You can keep checking listings on eBay but you will always find a wide difference from one seller to another as they are just trying to get whatever value they feel is true to their machine. If you go to the sold listings you will rarely find a machine that sold for that much money. It is generally a good idea to list locally as you control everything and can choose to sell or not.
Here is a link to recently sold machines (just White machines) on eBay so you can see the price differs from what sellers are asking for their machines.

Thomas White, founder of the White Sewing Machine Company, began building sewing machines in 1858, according to the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society's website, ismacs.net. By 1882, the company was producing about 60,000 machines each year. Between the early 1930s through the 1950s, White was the sole supplier of sewing machines sold by Sears Roebuck & Company. By 1960, White had merged with Husqvarna Viking. You can find the age of White sewing machines using the serial number stamped on each machine or printed on a tag affixed to the machine.

Examine the outside of the sewing machine for a number stamped in the metal or a tag that contains the serial number. Check the front and back of the machine, and then the end with the motor. Look on the bottom if the serial number is not visible elsewhere.
