i thought it was much older. with the decals and all, i thought it was a treadle (is it?) that you were restoring. it's gorgeous.
i have one from scotland made in 53.
but it's got missing things: the plate over the bobbin is gone and the rubber belt is all worn out and starting to, like, shred. it was always electric, not a treadle or anything that old. i have the original ugly cabinet and the owners manual. i don't think i want to put a lot of $$ into it, but i would like to find the belt and the plate. any ideas? it runs very smoothly and quietly. and the light even still works LOL!
