NEW HOME MODEL 446 Sewing Machine in cabinet. This heavy-duty, all metal machine is in excellent condition. Has had a complete overhaul done one time.

Straight stitch, zigzag, designs using cams (included), easy to adjust tensions, feed dogs drop for free-motion quilting, appliqueing, darning, embroidery, etc., stitch length regulator, forward & backstitch sewing, adjustable needle position selector, hemmer foot, zipper foot (very easy to use & sews in zipper beautifully), quilting guide, braid attachment foot, blind stitch hemmer foot. Also includes Ruffler attachment.
Does this look like a good investment?

http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/au...cgi?lid=877055
I am including pictures from Treadle On website which states that this one of the most sought after cabinets.
What a gorgeous cabinet...someone rescue it before someone who is ONLY interested in the cabinet gets to it and removes the machine...please...
http://www.treadleon.net/whitesm/whites.html
The only thing I request is if anyone lets this machine follow them home :) Please post pictures and tell us about your adventure at the auction.
BTW, No, I am not trying to be an enabler for those who resue treadle machines. Just "wished I lived closer" treadle stocker. LOL

When I turn the wheel by hand toward me, it is hitting something under the feed dogs. I have checked my instruction book over and over and tried different things and it still hangs up. I even had DH try and help. No luck. I appreciate your help. This thread is amazing. Thanks, Nancy O.

What do you think? Does anyone have a really good picture I can look at? I saw a couple on the web, but can't get a mental 3D of it yet.

carries these springs. They are very cheap, and relatively easy to replace. I tried bending one--I have a Pfaff 31 treadle that needed a new spring--but the results were less than spectacular.

The tyres I got for the bobbin winder were far too small, but I cut one in half, and a section from another, and superglued the cut ends together. Voila! Necessity is the mother of invention, they say.
