Same here. Try to salvage what we can and not load the landfill.

*** I have one that I found at an auction for $2.50 that was missing the treadle.
*** I added a plywood top & a keyboard tray and it is my computer desk between 2 file cabinets.

I have a base in my breezeway with two table boards on for the top (who knows from which table they came). It sits under a window with cute things on it. Now I have added a sewing machine given me by my young sewing machine guy. I don't know if it will ever work again, but it's cute to look at on that table. I do have the original top, the fold down side extension, the two drawer racks, one drawer and the base for the coffin top. Someday they may all get together. I'm keeping them all in good condition.
