    Shhhh... I won't tell anyone you need intervention if you don't tell on me. I have over 20 and keep looking on craigslist everyday! Nice machine and cabinet though. Are you going to post the attachments also?

    Well of course! I did part with one machine this week. Gave my future sister in law my 60s vintage white machine to learn to sew on...and i replaced it with a vintage blue ambassador 15 clone (arriving monday)that i won off goodwill and a 1917 white rotary also won off goodwill that will just be decoration. (Paid 5.00 its pretty but motor doesnt work). Mom lives where it was so i didnt have to pay shipping so i couldnt pass that up!

    This will make my third treadle and none are singer. Theres a w&w im debating over also...but he wants 125 for it.

    Jennb,
    Your Vindex B is made by National. Sorry that I don't know anything else about it. Very pretty machine and cabinet.
    I wish there were deals like here in the Austin area.

    Picked her up and shes home. Cabinet needs alot more work than my others but mostly in areas not visible. One drawer is missing the bottom and back, and the board that lifts up in front of the machine to support it when in use is missing. I do have the screws and hinges for it though. Will post new pics shortly when not on my phone.

    Oh, she is sooo pretty. Or is it a "he"...Vinnie, perhaps. In any case have fun with the fix up.

    That looks like a fun project. My White Rotary came with some of those paper bobbins. Does anyone know about them? I've never seen any before.

    Paper bobbins can still be bought. The old machines didn't use them, weren't thought of yet.
