    There should be others if you can find them all.

    It was a misunderstanding! If you find more posts that tell to use Goop or Gojo to clean machines, let Patrice know and send her a link...

    I'm off to send an apology to Blackberry...it was MY fault her post was deleted!

    I wonder if my Minnesota ~B~ would fit in that case? She needs a home.

    Yes, it ended Thursday at 5:00 PM Pacific time and went for $67.00. That is the highest I've seen a Singer Treadle go for. It being a Model 15 must have had something to do with it.

    Anyone out there with a 310 Pfaff machine in treadle? I'd like to see some pictures and get some information on how to do this. I have a 310 Pfaff that I would like to put in a treadle. Can anyone give me some good advise on the subject?

    Hey guys. After posting pics of my recent acquisitions in the other thread, y'all told me to come over here to discuss so here I am! I could use some help finding more information on these machines. They look to be from the 60s or 70s based on their design and features, but I can't find any serial numbers to date them. Also, I can't find ANY info on this Lenco. When I search the name I come up with a garment manufacturer in NYC, so I'm guessing this might be an industrial machine from the garment district. The motor on it is made in Belgium, but the front plate says Japan. I went looking for a sewing cabinet at a local resale shop and she had this one, and let me have the machine with it for an extra 5 bucks. I wasn't going to say no! I'll post the pics again for reference:
    White Sewing Machine- Picked up for 35.00 cabinet included. Works as far as I can see except the plug needs to be rewired.
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]342532[/ATTACH]
    Dressmaker, also acquired for 35.00 in its cabinet. This one seems to work just fine as far as I can see.
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]342533[/ATTACH]
    Lenco- I cant find ANYTHING on this machine!

    neither one is an industrial machine.
    the Lenco is a badged Japanese.
