A lot of sellers will miss spell or not really know what they are called and list them wrong and you can pick them up for next to nothing. Sometime stupidity will cost you big time. :roll: Billy |

It a a Singer Model 66-1 Treadle I got off Craigslist for free! :) :) :) Works beautifully except for the bobbin winder I broke while cleaning her. Isn't she a beauty. Haven't named her yet. :thumbup: Nancy |

I've not taken it out yet. Beth
As far as the needle, those machines take a special vintage needle that is like pulling teeth to find. I managed to find some on e-bay. You will need a 127X1 or Boye # 18 to use on that machine. Unfortunately, the 9W do not take a normal/modern needle. Billy and I think Charlee are working on finding a low cost modern needle that will work on the 9W machines. I love my Singer 9W -- It threadles very nice, but also try to remember the wheel on the 9W machines turns the opposite of most other machines. You roll the wheel away from you to sew, not toward you like most treadles! Please post a picture! Nancy Beth |
I have had the exact same issue. I sent an email to the administrator and have not received a reply. It's been at least a month.

I will leave a message for Alan but he is doing this to weed out the folks that steal information from the site and use it as there own research.

wondering about the size 18 Boye needles. I found some that are 16. Do each number have their own specific shaft that fits into the machine? Would the 16 work?
Beth[/quote] Hi Beth, the Boye 16 is for a Singer and is a 15x1, don't think it will work with your W&W. |
Nope you have to have the 18's or maybe these industrial needles I have that I havent tried out yet.

F- 4938145 4938154 23- Cloth. 10 January-June 1914 CLOTH And sometimes after the year it will state "cloth". What does that mean? F- 5038605 5078604 66K 40000 January-June 1914 R And, what does the R stand for? Thank you. Does anyone know what the abbreviations stand for? |
