The number you are using actually refers to the motor on the machine, not the machine itself. The model number is found in the serial number. Ours is a 659, and the manual was pretty easy to find after that. The serial number on ours is located on the bottom of the machine on the front edge, on a little metal plate. It is 659-5349, but the 659 is the important part.
If yours has a different model number, the way to search for it is to use a w and the first digits of the serial number. The search for our machine was w659.

I have a White Model 2134 sewing machine that I purchased used. It came with the original bill of sale dated 1964. I hope this helps you.

According to a YouTube video that a seller posted on this model, she states it was made in the mid 1980's...
You need a White Rotary bobbin. They are currently available (as of Dec 2011). You can get them through Quality Sewing in Tacoma, WA. Their website is QualitySewing.com but I do not know if they can be purchased through the website.

The price of your White Sewing Machine Corporation's White Rotary 77 Series machine depends a lot on it's condition. If you check e-bay it may give you a start as to the going rate for those sewing machines. However, you may want to try to find a sewing machine store in your area or call around to the local antique shops and ask if they know about 'antique' sewing machines or if they know of someone/someplace that specializes in them, like a collector/appraiser, so that you can get a proper appraisal/value for your machine. You may even want to try any of the more prominent auction houses in your area as they generally have people on hand that specialize in different types of antiques/collectables.
from what i know, I would say between $60 for one in descent shape, $100 for a real good one with alot of attachments. a series 77 is for heavier materials like leather and canvas too.
A white rotary sewing machine from the 1900s is worth about $130.
