I can top that! ...I got out in the pouring, freezing rain today to go look at a machine in a treadle cabinet that was advertised on CL (I had called first to make sure the "treadle" was still available). What they were selling was an c. 1950 electric Franklin in an all wooden cabinet. (The person I spoke to on the phone was under 40. Obviously, if I'm ever again talking about a treadle I've never seen, I'll be posivitely elementary in describing what I'm looking for.)
