REDNECK HOME SECURITY SYSTEM 1. Buy a pair of size 14-16 work boots. 2. Put them on the front porch with a copy of Guns & Ammo. 3. Put some giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine. 4. Leave a note on the door: "Bubba: Me & Bertha went for more ammo and beer. Back soon. Don't mess with the pit bulls; they messed the mailman up bad this morning. I don't think Killer took part; hard to tell from all the blood. I locked all four of ‘em in the house. Better wait outside. Be right back. Cooter" Nancy |

I'd love to take you up on that! The spousal unit just pointed out to me tonight that Allegiant Airline is opening up a route between Redmond and San Francisco, and the initial rates are a whopping $9.19 per person! Problem with that would be that I'm surprising him with his daughters for his birthday in May, and will be flying them in from Florida, so we'll be taking vacation then, and won't get another one for awhile!

Yes I am getting a little better but I still have my days here and there but I promise to be around more! I just never thought that when I started this thing that it would take off like it has. I am glad that everyone is having a ball and that there is so much enthusiasm for the vintage machines especially the treadles.

Nancy Here are some photos from the White site. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...62526590iVaRRP Another interesting site with a Raymond pictured http://blog.tawnybee.com/2011/07/cha...g-machine.html |
Thank you so much, Nancy, yes the treadle legs say Raymond on it, the machine is in pretty rough shape. I might be fooling myself but i thought it would be a good project to try and get her cleaned up and running.... Her underside is very clean and all the parts are moving, just lots of rust on her back plate. I just took some pics I will post. I'm new to this so I could be kidding myself.. hope not. Thank you for the info.

The machine doesn't care what sort of treadle irons/pitman is powering it as long as it works! I have an 1895 treadle set up and it fits all of Singer treadle heads. I also have a set of Elgin irons that I've got a top from a early 1900s Singer coffin top. The picture you see here shows the Singer 66-1 head in the same cabinet as the one in the webshots pic.
