What a wonderful story - I'm so glad you rescued it.
I have three treadles (Gramma's Singer, a Household and a Wheeler & Wilson) and I have them all on 'furniture movers' like you do, but mine don't work as well on carpet so I put either plywood, tile or linoleum under them so they 'treadle' much smoother. Each one just needed a new cord and some oil.
Have fun treadling!!!

Debbieoh,
I'm so glad that you saved this beautiful machine and cabinet from the dumpster. I've sewn with a New Home treadle and its a lovely machine. I'm shocked at what some people throw away.

Beautiful machine & cabinet. I have a machine that looks just like yours except it is a La Reine & the cabinet is a coffin style. I haven't been able to find any information at all on mine as of yet.
