I just posted my new machine on http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-130994-11.htm
I need to find a way to mount the foot treadle to the bottom of the cabinet. I had to wait 2 days for someone to help me take it out of the car to check the date.It was killing me to wait. I took the original one way stright rollers off and mounted these so I can move it.

have you taken the cam stack off and cleaned it and the spring? Get the service manual - it's free and then check out how to remove the stack. It isn't very hard to do. Maybe clean up the spring too - if all else fails, I think I have a spring. While you are in there clean the worm gear under the cam stack. Free manual:http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...ng-machine.pdf free service manual - it starts at page 125 and goes until the end: http://parts.singerco.com/IPsvcManuals/306W25.pdf
I used 3-in-one all over everywhere on the first one I ever had (401G) and it took some doing but I got it off and then slicked up. WARNING: DON'T EVER EVER EVER USE 3 IN ONE OIL.
Nope, I did not take the cam stack out,,I will get the instructions and start over. I cleaned the worm gear on the motor when I checked the carbons. thanks.
They run so much better when you clean the carbons.

The dials trun much better.I took the motor out cleaned the sand off and greased the worm gear. I don’t know what else to do.
Thanks

The old glue is defunct. All the joins are coming apart. The veneer, which was a sheet over the boards, is cracked top to bottom where the boards were glued edge to edge. What glue would you recommend for old, dried out 1880 wood?

I'm now contacting museums to see if anyone else has one of these exact cabinets. And yes, I did contact TreadleOn and the Yahoo Vintage White group to see if any of those folks know of replacement parts. If this is one of the few remaining #9's, I'll need to restore this carefully and properly.

That brings back memories of all the controversy about how to care for wood furniture; leather too! :-D
