Cindy Peters has to come to my rescue, she'll be sending me a 7' belt, she said I may have an industrial type treadle like her 130 Pfaff has.

OMG!! A red Bel Air on shop goodwill. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem...temID=11158125 I know we had the discussion of tell or don't tell, but wow, if someone is hunting red. Looks similar to sewmore, with the indentation for the thread and the badges. Cute!!

I used my Dremmel on it and carefully monitored it to make sure I had gotten it all off.

That red machine is gorgeous. Now I want a red or a pink machine. When does it stop? I think I want pink more than red.

I had white oxidation also on a featherweight...I scrapped off all loose paint and then oiled the daylights out of it!! Thought that would at least stop the oxidation for a bit....so now you think I should dremmel it to clean it all off? Don't really plan on a repaint on it. It's only about 1/4 - 1/2" from the bottom of the base upward.

The aquarium tubing works pretty good. I'm running my 9W-7 #1 with it right now:

To make the coupler slit the one inch piece length wise, roll it up tight and put it in one end then the other. It's cheep too. Joe |
Sharon, Your new Pfaff in treadle look SWEET! I like the look of the cabinet and treadle. Enjoy and happy treadling!

If someone on here gets the red machine, please post better pics of it. I have already bid as deep as my pockets would go and been outbid, when I factor in shipping. I will just have to wait, but there is a red machine out there somewhere waiting for me.

Joe, Your Singer 9W looks pretty. Glad you got the aquarium hose to work. Directions are as simple as that!
And yes, the tubing is cheap. ;) The tubing worked on the treadle, but not the portable I tried. So it won't work on everything. Joe |
