If the treadling irons are in poor shape, I say go for it. Otherwise, I like the idea of having a machine that doesn't require electricity.

Jumping in here with a note; I have a treadle Singer 27, circa 1900. The decals are slighter better than the one pictured and it works fine. I paid $75 for mine.

Several years ago I repainted a Singer 99. I created my own water-slide decals and put them on, clear-coating over them when dry. The clear coat did not bubble or mess up. It looks fine.

My late 70's Kenmore is still a great machine, even though I bent a few pins with it myself. I guess you could call it "modern" because it has zigzag, but is way better than today's plastic machines.
