Meet Martha! 1908 Singer Spinx Treadle
She needs a good cleaning but her cabinet is definitely in need of restoration! Any suggestions on how to go about restoring the missing pieces on the top? One of the drawers is missing the little knob, she needs one wheel so she can be rolled around, and the belt is missing. Thanks, Pam

Thank you Clare. I was just reading through all the topics and threads and the excellent information shared by all. I probably would have made greater progress in locating Glen's tutorials but got delayed in all the topics and posts!!

Just checked this out and there is a lot of information on this site, maybe it will help. Enjoy, as we have both been bitten by the vintage bug, only wish I had more room for them, but I am at my limit.
