A question for you, though! Why try and get a 328, 319 or whatever to put in a treadle? I love my treadles, but it is also fun to use my Rocketeer for fancy stuff, afterall, the Rocketeer is 50 years old -- a vintage and it sews great! My Rocketeer came in a cabinet, which we burned - it was in bad shape. I don't have room for so many cabinets so I wanted the Rocketeer as a portable. Why don't you just keep your 66, your two spools, your Davis treadles and get a vintage you can just use as a portable for the fancy stuff? Aren't you running out of treadle room too?

I wouldn't get another treadle; you are correct there that I don't have room for another one. I was thinking of just switch the machines heads like Billy does. I do like your idea of just looking for the Rocketeer to use as the portable and for decorative stitches, or some other vintage machine with decorative stitches.
