New Howard treadle

Hi, I'm a new member, and have a tough question. I was given a New Howard treadle sewing machine, and can't find any info on this brand. I love my Bernina and my featherweight, but have always wanted a treadle like my mom used. My husband is going to refinish the the wood cabinet. I hope I can restore it to working order. If anybody has some thoughts about this machine, I would appreciate it very much.

I found this on:

http://ismacs.net/sears/sears.html

It is towards the bottom of the page with a picture of the machine. I couldn't find a New Howard.
The "Howard" was a badged version of the National Model Vindex B vibrating shuttle

sewing machine

from the early 1900s
