Husqvarna Viking · Zigzag · Introduced about 1977–78
The 6460 sat at the top of Husqvarna's 6000-series range in the late 1970s, the last of the cam machines before the computerized 6680 arrived in 1979. It shares the 6440's mechanical Colormatic system, with built-in stitches and plug-in cams at the back, the Viking vertical hook loading from the front of the free arm and the low gear that sews at full power a stitch at a time. Owners like the narrow free arm for children's clothes. The 6460 has its own carbon brush holder, redesigned from this model on. Inside, it has the same plastic weak points as its siblings. The original grease hardens, internal cams stick and plastic parts in the take-up break. One that's been serviced and shown sewing is worth more than one that hasn't been touched.
Under the throat plate
Ask for a photo under the slide plate with the bobbin case in place. A missing bobbin case or the wrong needle system is the most common reason a machine that looks fine won’t sew.
The same faults as the 6440. Hardened original lubricant seizes it, internal cams crack or stick, cam prongs break, and the take-up crank slide bushing fails, sometimes leaving bits of plastic loose in the head.
New to old machines? How to check a used sewing machine walks through the handwheel, the wiring, the bobbin case and a test seam.
Buying guide
With only three 6460s for sale, the $270–410 delivered band isn't a market read. We'd look first at the $350 machine with free shipping, titled with accessories, whose photos show the foot control and an accessory box. The $197 delivered one has its case but no foot control or power cord and isn't tested, so it only makes sense if you can find a Viking pedal. On any of them, ask for a video sewing a zigzag and a cam stitch, since the original grease hardens and internal cams crack, and count the cams in the photos.
$350.00delivered
The one complete 6460 here at a fair ask, $350 with free shipping from a 99.9% seller, and the photos show the pedal and an accessory box. It isn't titled tested, so ask for a video of a zigzag and a cam stitch.
