He said it ran really smooth and he was RIGHT!!! I haven't run it with thread yet but was amazed at how much pep it has!!! This sewing machine is H-E-A-V-Y---must weight about 200 lbs...lol!
Billy, I can't figure out how to put the spool pin back in or even where it goes :roll:

I did win my auction - it's green - not sure it is elegant - but it looks fun!

I found this in a box of old sewing stuff. Does anyone have any ides what it is for? The small shiny handle is a crank that makes the long straight piece spin. There is a hole in the center of the straight piece. The bottom? looks like it clamps on to something.
What is this?

Well, this Saturday I am going to go pick up a treadle cabinet for my 66-1 that came with a motor. I know I can't sneak it in...I don't have that big of a house!! LOL I think DH already knows the machine is there, although I haven't exactly shown it to him, and he hasn't mentioned it. But the case is sitting on the floor in the sewing room, and he goes in and out of there all the time. But....he's really not very observant (his own admission!! :-)), so maybe he hasn't really noticed it!! LOL We'll have to see!!! :-) Can't wait to get my Little Lotus into her treadle.
Looking forward to seeing your lotus in her new home!

Hi Honeys...I'm home!! Just resting up for a few before we bring Mamie in the house and I test her out and take photos!! She had some issues that didn't show in the Craig's list photos, but she's still a beauty, and I love this machine!!
Will post pics soon... :)

Hello folks! I've recently picked up a couple more vintage machines. I posted a pick of one of them, but cannot add it to this topic; when I click on the "add to topic" link, this topic is not listed. Can anyone tell me how that works?
Thanks,
Wendy
