Remember me posting those machines in my area yesterday from Craigslist?. Well they had to come home with me today! One is a Wilcox and Gibbs, April 17, 1883. The other one is a New Home T No 3. I can't find any information on the New Home. The serial number is T4226673. Does anyone know how to date the New Home. I found some information on Needlebar (I tread lightly there). It looks like it was only manufactured as a HC. It is so cute, a little 3/4 size machine!
Here is a picture of the New Home. Will post the Wilcox and Gibbs later -- love that little W&G treadle. The treadle is really cute with feet for the pedal! Both of these machines belonged to the owner's grandmother, then mother, now me! I am hopeless! Nancy T 3 New Home 3/4 size machine VS [ATTACH=CONFIG]123402[/ATTACH] |

Billy, can I make a 66-6 (belt driven motor, not a spoked handwheel) into a treadle machine head? The handwheel is solid, but it does take the belt off the motor. So, just take off the electric gagets and put the treadle belt on it in place of where the electric one goes now? Seems too simple, what am I missing.... ?[/quote]
I'm not Billy, but yes you can! I treadle Singers 15-90 & 237,both had a belt driven motor and a solid handwheel. They treadle with no problems. Of course a treadle cabinet is needed. Sharon W. |

I got my idea to use my 201 this way from Sharon's posts. I would just try it out to see if it works. That is what I did. Best idea, that and Sharon's suggestion of dental floss to hold treadle belt instead of the staple. Thank you Sharon! Thanks to purplefiend and VM for giving me the heads up that an electric belt race will work for a treadle belt. Thanks guys. So now, if I happen to see a treadle cabinet, I might pick that up too. We'll see! Thanks! |
