Oh... and Billy.... I'm sooo thankful you are alive and still kicking. Back 20 years ago, I plugged in a 66, hit the gas and blew the house main, fried my fingers. The only thing that saved me is that I was wearing sneakers at the time and standing. Like to scare me half to DEATH. Fused the outlet, melted the cover plate... fused the cord and melted the plug. I had it 'fixed' supposedly. A few weeks ago, I got the 'death machine' out again...and saw that the sewing machine person didn't rewire anything... he just stuck a new cord/plug on it and charged me $60.... that's robbery. Not happy with it at all. I'll be treadling that sucker once I find a treadle cabinet I like... that's cheap.
Glad you're still with us. And glad that your 15 tons of flammable, combustable, paint/lacquers/clear coats and stuff didn't go up! lol

I have a Singer 306k that can be turned into a treadle. It used cams (mine came with 28 of them) It says you have to use a special needle for the machine but mine was retimed to use the reg 15x1 needles. It sews a beautiful stitch and we got it at a local thrift shop in a nice cabinet for $7.50. Such a bargain. Good luck on the hunt for one you can turn into a treadle.

I agree with you that the stitches are very nice. I was surprised on my first try at how nicely the 15s work.

I am looking to purchase a beige Singer 301. I have noticed that a few of these machines have discloration on the outside casing. Does anyone know if this can be removed by Billy's cleaning process? Someone told me that it was from thee machine being put in sunlight!
Thanks,
Nancy

I have joined the vintage machine club! My first vintage is my new treadle. Just got her today. I know she needs at least a belt and a bit of metal near the needleplate.
Just did some more research and I think it's a King Class, made between 1900-1920.

This is the only one that has decals like mine.. but I could be wrong.
