I have come up with nothing for information thru sears.Do you have any idea where i can get parts for this? According to Sears there is no where to get them. but, there must be . Help , please. My husband feels so bad that it can't be fixed. But, I bet it can. Thank you for the help.
Have you checked information with White? White actually made the Franklin along with the Domestic and some others. What do you mean treadle/electric? Did it come on a treadle but someone had put a motor on the machine? That happened a lot.
I'd start watching E-Bay and googling information on the Franklin -- I'll bet you can find the parts if you just look.
Billy can you help her or point her to the place to find parts?
