Well, back home from a girl's weekend. The machine diet continues as the one I was going to look at near her house was sold. Did not get to go to any thrift shops. I did see a White in a parlor cabinet in an antique store in Placerville. They were asking too much.
I did not know my friend had a treadle. We took it out and it is a beautiful Singer 66K serial F6103032, with the brown lotus decals in very good condition. I was not sure if it was just dirty or if they made that model with black side faceplate and feet?
Happy to see everyone else has had a great time finding new machines.
