And I think hubby can just build me a support plate that ANY machine can sit on, but still leave room for the treadle belt...
And the price was excellent on this ~ free :)

Thank those who answered my question about dropping the feed dogs on my red eye 66.
I'll have to look for another vintage Singer Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I was in a local antique shop today and saw a Wheeler & Wilson treadle machine with coffin top. Had an "8" on the front of the machine, serial # looked something like 563952. Belt was missing as was bobbin case but the wheel turned freely. It's not in the best shape, but kinda cute anyway ;-).
Is there somewhere I can find out more about this and what it should look like/what might be missing? (This table didn't have any drawers, should it?). They were asking $65 but I have no idea how much they usually go for.

Just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who gave me feedback on the two Singers I was thinking of.
I ended up buying a nice 301 in a cabinet. The machine sews beautifully and the person I bought it from had a bunch of great accessories that I have to learn to use as well as her Mother's sewing exercise books - very cool!
Now that I'm convinced that this one's a keeper, I'll be putting that wonderful cleaning tutorial to good use. Poor little 301 - she sure needs a cleaning!

Oops, had to change this--if bobbin case is not present, I wouldn't have the slightest idea of where to find one!!

MizJohnny & BoJangles ~ I looked at the pic on pg 695 ~ OMG I SAW one of those a couple weeks ago... cannot say where, because I am going to go back and see if its still there first thing in the morning. I will die if its still there. I showed the pic to hubby, and he said "We saw that, we thought it was a weird stapler" ~ I don't think I'm going to sleep tonite!
