Necchi BU Treadle
Just bought this machine in a beautiful cabinet as a treadle. Seller gave me a motor, light and foot pedal too. Can I mount this motor to the machine and switch back and forth between treadling and power by switching out the belt? The motor is a 1 amp Standand Universal Motor. It is not a Necchi motor.

You can certainly try. I did a similar set up over here
https://www.quiltingboard.com/vbulle...e-t316079.html
and just looped the treadle belt over the motor pulley. As noted in the thread it moved the entire treadle mechanism which would not be for long term operation, I was mostly just messing around.

Welcome to Quilting Board. Some of the Necchi machines can be treadled. Perhaps a picture of your machine would help.
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?
Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap
And how to use an ipad to post pictures can be found at Uploading photos
Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.

Helen, after you have chosen your photos, scroll to the right side of that box. There is an upload button on the far right and it is probably not visible until you scroll. I've attached a screenshot for the Manage Attachment page in the Go Advanced section that I use to add pictures.

If memory serves me correctly the spacing on the Necchi is the same as a Singer, however there is a difference in either the hinge pins or the space where the hinge pins go are different between Singer and Necchi.
