    Does anyone know where I could find more info on the Minerva? I've done searches but all draw blanks, mainly dating info would be great.

    Thanks again
    If only shipping weren't so expensive I would be glad to send the motor to you!

    That sounds so wonderful. Maybe I should go call a GF and see if she would be interested in riding this weekend. Hope you have some sunshine and get a chance to get out.

    Well since I am being such an enabler tonight I thought that anyone living in or around Frederick OK might be interested or know something about this place.

    http://www.thayerrags.com/ThayerRagsMachines.htm

    They have a number of sewing machines that could be cleaned, polished and put back into production. Or if you need parts it might be a good option. Please let us know if this is not a good resource.

    Weedwoman, isn't that the 'pits', when your other toy (computer) knocks you out of communication with the SHOP. It takes a couple of days to get caught up around here when you miss just one day of reading. Hope that you find your answer.

    Check out the AWESOME price on this treadle machine in cabinet :shock:

    :http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/for/2281013605.html

    At first I thought it was a mistake but I see the comma so I assume that is the price that he/she is trying to sell it for.

    That price on this machine is way out of line. They must know something we don't.
