Whats wrong with this picture? This machine took a an awful LOT of TLC. Those knobs were 3-in-1 oiled or glued and the whole thing was covered in goo. I got it at the auction last December. It was a surprise in the table I bought for a buck. It turns nice now but needs to be in a cabinet. The motor has bare wires.

Miriam did you get this machine like that? With the spoked hand wheel and the hand crank? Someone went to a lot of trouble to be able to hand crank that machine! What a really awesome find! Maybe, the wires have been bare for a while - hence the handcrank, but why leave the motor on? I'd love to hear this machine's story!

Don't you just love all those dials??? It was a bear to figure out what each one did - specially when they didn't MOVE.

I also tagged along on this post: http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...r-t193169.html
One day I should start a post on Japanese ZZers. I know very little about them. I'm learning a bit though. Those are all over the map what they are like...

Hi Billy! I'm so glad you are here to answer questions--'cause I certainly have one! I have a wonderful old (cc1876) Domestic treadle machine that runs like a swiss watch. Somehow, the needle was broken. I know that it requires a needle model/size GG but I have been unable to find anyone who might have this old needle. I am heart broken. Modern needles, of course, won't fit. What to do, what to do?
