Anyone have a manual for the motorized to sell??
Anyone need one for a treadle??
Thanks!!!

At any rate, the information you need will all be in this manual.

I have a question on what the abbreviations mean from the Singer site.
These were copied from the site as examples.
I understand that K stands for hand-crank.
F-
3516740
3517039
15K C.S.
300
January-June
1913
C.S.
What does the C.S. stand for after 15K C.S. ?
F-
4938145
4938154
23- Cloth.
10
January-June
1914
CLOTH
And sometimes after the year it will state "cloth". What does that mean?
F-
5038605
5078604
66K
40000
January-June

R
And, what does the R stand for?
Thank you.

Here are the machines I picked up over the weekend. The Domestic is a Coffin Top Treadle. The Minnesota, is a treadle, without the cabinet. The Wheeler & Wilson has a W9 on it, but, it says Wheeler & Wilson on it. They aren't in great shape, but, I'm happy with them.

So after 2 gallons of paint stripper and 50lb bag of black beauty in the media blaster this is what she came out looking like.

Great find! It is so much fun to get the old machines and bring life back into them.

I found this post by Charlee http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-45521-1.htm that shows other needle options. Guess I'll need to start looking for bobbins too. I did buy a new belt on ebay last night. I'm sure the leather shoestring will be integrated into one of my MANY projects that are being further delayed now that I found this shop. Beth :roll:
No I did not get any attachments! You are really lucky that you did get the attachments!
Yes, Charlee and Billy are looking into the needle thing with the 9W machines. You are lucky you had a needle with the machine. Those 127X1 needles are very hard to find and if you do find them, you will pay through your teeth for them.
