Nancy,
My legs are too long, I have to sit with one leg out and one in and treadle with one foot :P :P

Ok, I tried one foot -- very hard for me. I found I can treadle better if I use one foot and just the toe of my left foot!
Geeze, I train horses -- you'd think I could treadle!
Anyway, my husband was running around today and went to an local antique emporium and found a Red Eye treadle in pristine shape for $800! Geeze, isn't that high? I thought the Red Eye was manufactured quite extensively? Anyway, I want the machine!

BoJangles,
If it is still in the factory shipping box from Singer 1910, $800 would be discussable.
But, if it has one scratch on it, anywhere, it is only worth as much as you want to pay for the cabinet.
Buy for the cabinet, not the machine, in this case. If the cabinet is absolutely no doubt PERFECT, I would pay $100 to $150 for the whole thing, machine and all.
Oh, and for $150, it had better be my most favorite cabinet style.
If the machine is absolutely PERFECT, I would pay up to $80 for the machine, and it had better have slide plates, bobbins, a lot of accessory feet, etc. Because, there are a lot of nearly perfect machines in cabinets out there for $40-$80 all included.
This is my opinion after only three months of treadle browsing on CL. If I am crazy, well, forgive me.
Aardie.

Wow! So even if the machine is pristine along with the cabinet -- the cabinet is the more important factor?
Boy, am I learning! I do want a Red Eye one of these days, but not for $800!
Thank you for the information -- this gives me a lot to think about!
