Then I have 3 more repaints along with a half a dozen refurbish/service jobs for the paying customers to knock out in the next couple of weeks.
I might get to start on somebodies B-Day quilt by the time I get back from my trip!

i thought it was much older. with the decals and all, i thought it was a treadle (is it?) that you were restoring. it's gorgeous.
i have one from scotland made in 53.
but it's got missing things: the plate over the bobbin is gone and the rubber belt is all worn out and starting to, like, shred. it was always electric, not a treadle or anything that old. i have the original ugly cabinet and the owners manual. i don't think i want to put a lot of $$ into it, but i would like to find the belt and the plate. any ideas? it runs very smoothly and quietly. and the light even still works LOL!

Oh I am selling it as a treadle machine but if some one wanted a motor on it then that is not a problem either. There are little differences between the 66's made in 1910 to 195? other that the Back tack feature and the handwheel they are all the same.
As far as your machine get me the Serial and I can tell you where you need to go to get the parts for it. Plus I might have them here right now. I am slowly building up to run a parts business along with the servicing/refurbishing/repainting machines.
