..My husband had one of these learning experiences - he was dealing with a very dirty 127 with great decals. Until he got the idea to put it in the sink to clean off all the grime. He was amazed at how black the water ended up. I was amazed that he didn't notice he was washing off the finish and decals!
Yikes!! what was in the water? hopefully not his hands...

Jim,
First remove dead blow hammer from the vicinity of your sewing machines. Then lay in a supply of TRI-FLOW oil. When something like that hand wheel is stuck it's usually the old oil that's gummed up and created a bind or glue.
If you can braze you should be able to fix both the collar and the treadle frame. Matter of fact I have two treadle frames that need brazing repair too, and I don't have the skill to do it.
Go for it. What do you have to lose?
