I don't know what parts you might need, but I go to Jenny at sew-classic.com for replacement parts - she has great prices and she's very fast and helpful, too. She carries all the standard stuff and will special order items for you whenever she can. I also send her motors to be cleaned and re-wired. HTH! :)
Have fun!

I saw a Lotus treadle head at a sale this summer. I almost drooled over it ! perfect decals. at $300, I just could not do it, but I talked of that machine for days. Lotus is so much more rare than the Red Eye. but if the decals are gone, it will be beautiful in its' new dress ! too bad we can not replace the old decals. yes, these vintage machines are very fixable !
