Free Treadle Sewing Machine

Yep, I do. I haven't even seen the table yet and probably won't until Wednesday. The machine has a bobbin case, and the foot thats on it looks to be a 1/4inch foot.
I always like to get the story behind the machine. Where/Who it came from, how long have they've had it, etc., I asked my husband to ask about the machine's history since I wasn't with him. The couple had it for about 30yrs, they bought it at a yard sale for $10 it was painted white at the time. His wife stripped the white paint and refinished it.
I will definitely keep my eyes open for a similar Standard table for the left drawer for you though 10xs.

on ebay long ago, there was auction of about 6 drawers. Of all types. There was one left hand drawer in there
Hubby moved the cabinet alone ? There heavy compared to the average, because of the lift system. I redid mine years ago, It seems to adjust the lift, it was a matter of loosening a bolt on the arm, Thats on the back of the cabinet. Lid open no machine installed. put the lifter up, retighten the bolt .. I would have to double check mine to be sure about this

Actually he and the gentleman moved it. It's going to have to stay in the car for a few days until I can drive it down to my studio.

Thanks again Rodney, what really sealed the deal for me was the fact that the hand wheel didn't budge one iota. She's gotta wait in line for a bit since she's got a few restores ahead of her, but I'm going to bring this baby back up and sewing.
