The following link shows you how to adapt a tabletop so that you can put a treadle machine in/on it.

I'd like to see it when you're done.

I'm so glad that you got an easier solution. One of my treadles is what we call a "franken-treadle" it has the top from a Singer coffin top type treadle and the irons are Elgin made by Free, it works very well. The irons are so smooth and easy to treadle, has ball bearings in it.

Im hoping someone can give me some information about this Kenmore. I looked on the internet and I got years from the 30's to the 50's. The seriel # is 270003, and the model # is 117-552. An old neighbor gave this to me. Any information would be appriciated. Also I have no attachments or the book for it, only the foot that is on it. Any ideas where I can get them?

As for the accessories and manual you will have to hit thrift stores, yard sales and ebay to find them.

Well, my sister just left town. While she was here we found a Bernina 530-2 in a mostly all there cabinet. I have never seen a Bernina in my life. It appears in good cosmetic shape and it turns. It has a whole bunch of weird feet. The stitch dial doesn't do much and the built in knee control doesn't move very far. I have yet to clean it up. I've had to catch up on regular work and hope to get something done on the machine over the week end. There is a manual - pretty small print... I'm thinking enlarge on the copy machine... The power does not go on when it is plugged in - no power at all. Is there some way to clean the contacts? Any info would help.
