But you can put it in a cabinet, treadle, or make it a hand crank and you can use it like you stole it! It was never really intended to run the speeds that an electric motor lets it.

I agreed that it would be better off in a treadle cabinet.

One other thing worth mentioning. 128's have a vibrating shuttle system...hense the vibrating you mention.
Here's some good info on this type of system.
