OK, here are the Pic's I took today of my new treasure. I am in the process of getting it ready to sew, need a needle plate and some bobbins, wish me luck. Also needs a good cleaning.

The cabinet is beautiful. And your baby will be too, when you get it cleaned up.

Very nice! Seeing ones like that make me wish I had room for more treadles - maybe when I retire and we move south.

THAT .... is a nice machine and cabinet. I'd make it much nicer by getting rid of the motor and putting back to a treadle machine. .

If you need threading help I can do that. And it probably takes the 127x1 needles, very rarium almost unobtainium.
I can help with info on a substitute needle too if you need it.

I have the same one but mine was never motorized. I got mine cleaned and lubed and it sews a great stitch. Only issue I have is the brake. Mine appears to have Been given a wood block brake that has a lot of play and knocks the belt off. See pic attached any advise from the experts out there?

Joe, thanks for the info, please I am interested in the needles you spoke of. I also have the slide plate and bobbin, my friend who gave me the machine found them, I was so happy. I have one needle but would love to have more. I am going to attach some Pic's I have taken since removing the motor and cleaning Her up some. Her name will be Connie.

those WW9's are cool!

The only standard sized machine I have with a larger harp that the WW9 is the White Model A.
