The upgrade/update was basically the addition of an electronic controlled foot pedal to control the motor speed. The White model number 769 also called “the Selectronic” appears to updated/upgraded version of the model number 764. The model number 500 was the first to be advertised as such. Very similar to the way all of the Singer 500 series are referred to as “Rocketeer “. Since that time it appears the general public has imposed the name onto all the White sewing machines of that particular body style. It was dubbed “My Fair Lady “or “Fair lady “due to its endorsements.

The bobbin door for the year 1964 was engraved with the endorsement. This is only a speculated guess based on the model number 764 which was introduced at the 1964 World Fair and was recognized by The House of Good Taste for its innovations and design. I haven’t been able to define a positive manufacture timeline for this machine but it appears to have been manufactured sometime between 19. Purchasing items from the links cost you nothing more and adds a few pennies to the fabric budget.Ĭurrently, I have not been very successful in my quest to research the White Model Number 769 sewing machine.
