OK, here's the link for whoever wants to see it. It's the head only, no treadle at this price. They have one but not the original. Anyway, not bad looking. Wish it was at least in the Western U.S.!!!!

Yes, I am and I wouldn't mind finding a 230, but Bakersfield is a very long trip for me!

What is recommended as the best brand or type of lubricate for the gears in my machines? I have the right type of oil for the oil spots but want to make sure I use the right stuff for the gears on my machines. My plan is to begin to clean up and lubricate all of my working vintage machines before beginning to get those who don't work... up and working.

Nancy,
to the best of my knowledge the only significant difference is the -20 has a larger bobbin and bobbin case that the -15. they were both manufactured during the same time frames. No need to woryy.

Ok Cathy, now you've got me worried! My 31-15 looks much older than my 31-20, and the serial number is completely worn off so I don't know its year, but I'm guessing 1910's to 1920's? My 31-20 is from 1925, but in much better shape than the 31-15. Now tell me about the bobbins? What is the difference? As you can tell, I haven't played with either yet!

Nancy,
These needles are all the same except for the scarf area. Consider them interchangeable.
