I would love to find the parts to turn it back into a treadle. Any suggestions? I will have to find a few parts to make it happen. Not sure where I can scrounge them up. It does have the original book. The back of the book says "Model C Blank". No date.

In the book it says to clean it with,,.,, you guessed it, Kerosene.
