Singer Treadle Base
I just bought a Singer treadle base. I used to ride the pedal of a treadle when I was little. This one rocks back and forth nicely and is so nostalgic.
I wonder what to clean it with... WD40?... Sewing machine oil?... Something else?

ditto - I was amazed at what a difference it make just wiping it down with sewing machine oil and cotton balls.
I think most of the old treadle manuals (like for the 66, 27 & 15) will tell where to oil the treadle to keep it moving smoothly. I don't remember if there are oil holes, but I think so and if so make sure they are cleaned out so that the oil gets to where it is supposed to go.
Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.
