I went on a nice long 70+ mile bicycle ride in the back country today and I saw several sewing machines and treadles in the mix. I was not able to stop to see them because the shops were closed for the day but plan on going back to look. I even found a 1955 Pontiac Station Wagon I might try to buy, it was complete and looked like it might would run!

It's hard to leave them behind, isn't it Billy?
I have to say, the girls (and guys) that went to the Sister's Quilt Show missed out on this machine that I got today!! ~grin~ It was posted on Craig's list in hopes of selling it during the show! :) |

:shock: :shock: This is my summer of "machine addiction". I bought my first vintage machine last year, and this year so far I have gotten 5 more! I REALLY have to stop now!! :-)[/quote] Good luck with that. This is my first summer of machine addiction as well. Now I have... 4. I'd say five but one belongs to my MIL and I just restored it for her. They just keep calling to me... |

Upon returning it to it's little table, I noticed that the foot pedal is missing it's button... argh. Something I didn't even see when I bought the machine. I could use a cord and pedal from another of my machines, but this cord is threaded through a dime-sized hole in the cabinet, and I have no idea how it was put in or could be taken out. Any ideas on how that pedal cord can be changed in the cabinet? Thanks a bunch! I had to do the same thing to take a 201 out of its cabinet, but I think those wires were color coded so I could put it back together without any problems. |
