    Wow!!! What an awesome find! I now have over 9 vintage machines. And to think it all started with getting a treadle machine for Mother's day! :mrgreen:

    That is a nice 66-16 you have!! It has the Wrinkle finish but a lot of folks call it the "Godzilla" finish. From what I can see it does not need much to get running again, and if you need the missing parts I stock all of the parts for the machine so feel free to to PM me with your needs.

    Great find. Can't beat that with a stick. Congratulations on the start of your collection. It is addicting. Just be careful of the coffee in Billy's shop.

    It's Sunday morning and I have been busy in the kitchen.

    Billy, if I stop by the shop and drop off a pan of hot cinnamon rolls with maple icing, could you give me advice on finding a tan/taupe handle for a 221J case?

    It is the post connector handle. I have two bolts with one brass post on, but no handle and one missing post.

    I am scanning the net, but only find black handles and none with post mountings.

    Enjoy the cinnamon rolls . . . who ended up making the coffee?

    Aardie.

    Lisa did today seems she is an early riser ;-)

    I am digging the Cinnamon Rolls yum, but I am going to see if I can find you your handle. Something tells me that all I will find will be the black ones.
