She has lots of information (I recommend the little booklet that she sells. For $8.00, it's worth every penny) about these old gals. She also has some very informative videos on her You Tube channel.

Thanks so much for this link, I ordered the book and am going to watch her videos too!

I have a photo of the bobbin, could anyone tell me what kind it is so maybe I can find a few?
I really appreciate all your help!!

Treadle Lady has a video about that bobbin:

I'm pretty sure she sells them on her site, too

Billy, if I follow this correctly, you might take a trip to NH. You have to travel thru MA to get to NH. You might have to stop by! The road trip has started. Good luck. It looks like a beautiful cabinet.

It's beautiful!!! That base, with the fold-out shelf, is awesome. I have to laugh when the advertiser calls it 'lightweight"--I'll bet it weighs a ton.
