Yesterday I got to wondering about my treadle machine. "Rose" sits in my living room hosting a fish tank. I posted an old picture and Lostin51 gave me some info, Singer 127 with a Memphis Sphinx decal. Without the serial number can't be sure of the age. Being very pleased with that info I said to DH, I wish I could move that tank, I want Rose back in my sewing room. Well, go up this morning and went to feed the fish, noticed that over 2 inches of water was missing and as I moved in my feet got wet!!! The filter had clogged and was draing water out onto Rose and the floor. The top of the cabinet was damaged, but now the whole top layer of vanier has lifted and in some places has soaked in. Will need to be repaired. What a mess! Right now the only one happy with this is the cat, fish are in a bucket on the floor!
