This looks very nice! The machine, not the painted cabinet.

NKlaura, That is an Awesome machine, be sure and let us know how it works out for you. I love my big old "Indy"
I found this little page and video of an old 31 and it seems pretty capable to me!

Thanks Nancy. What could I use for the wick now that I pulled all of it out? Bobbie
Janice, Please post when you get that combination all setup! I love seeing how folks take parts from other treadles to make a whole new treadle.
I just rolled up a scrap of felt and stuck in several of mine. Clean the hole out really well and you will see a TINY hole drilled through to where the shuttle swings, all you need is something to keep the oil there, but not just pouring through that hole. I made my felt a little "tall" so that when i put the cover plate on it squeezes it just a little to kinda force a little oil out into the shuttle "raceway" just a little amount is all that is needed too much and it soaks your thread and can lead to problems.
