Ok Purplefiend what is a Singer 237 Treadle? Love the coffin top treadle -- great drip pan!
Did you turn a modern machine into a treadle?

Nancy,
I am very happy that my son is talented enough to figure out how to make things like the drip pan. :D
The Singer 237 was made in Italy and offered as a treadle there and electric in the USA. I just did a motorectomy and removed the light. The hand wheel has a deep belt groove, it treadles beautifully and very easily.
It was made in 1968 does straight and zig zag only,bought it at a thrift shop for $20,the motor was burned out due to a stretch rubber belt that was too small. Its in very good shape.
I'd planned to treadle it anyway.
