Any old machines in this area are usually rusted and expensive or if they're not rusted they are $300+
People are just shocked that anyone would actually use an old machine, especially a treadle.
I'm in love with the Singer coffin top treadle cabinet I bought on Wednesday night, it just needs hinge pins now. Someone removed them at some point. They are smaller than the more "modern" treadle cabinets, the round part that screws into the cabinet measures 5/8"
Pitty I see them here regulary but indeed they will run about $100-$200 and up. Yesterday I saw one for $75 and it was nice. Just keep checking one will come your way.
