Now that I have her, I realize I know next to nothing about her!
Got her off of Craigslist like the previous owner did (wanted to use her for photography studio.)
Don't know model number or name, where to get anything for her or a manual, and how to fix the cracks in her wooden bottom and cover.

Guess I'll give her a cleaning and enjoy her as a decoration for now.

Between MUV and chatting with someone from Treadleon, you should be able to have some of those questions answered.

The Vesta has a new home! Congrats!

Scroll down and look at the Vista machine!

Then go watch Muv's video

Muv has other videos - how to clean it up and make it work

I can convert my treadle to a hand crank for close work. I love it both ways.
