Well this has been an exciting three days! I haven't been a member of this board for long and I'm trying to catch up. I was reading the boards and remarked to my husband that I wish I had an old treadle machine. He said "You do." I didn't know what he was talking about. He went into his garage and about an hour later he comes out with a treadle machine that belonged to his Grandmother. It's a model 66-1 born sometime in 1903 number K1221977. Then he says "If you like old machines hang on!", he disappears for about 30 minutes into his garage and comes out with a model 128 electric born in 1922 serial number G9227999! THEN he goes back into his garage and another 30 mins. goes by and out comes an electric 1925 model 127 serial no. AA786804! I'm doing the Happy Dance!!!! Now, they are in okay shape but desparately need some TLC. I am determined to restore these babies as much as I can. I do remember seeing a tutorial or board message on how to clean these up but can't find it again. Can someone tell me where to find it? In the meantime I plan to worship at this mans feet! How lucky can I get? I wonder what else he has in that garage of his?!
