Thanks all for the kind words and encouragement. I think I am just going to get the veneer glued and put some nylon bushings in so I don't do any damage to the top. I will just continue to look for the correct parts for what I have and do it right when I can. I am just getting impatient and want to do some sewing on this machine. It will be interesting as the last time I sewed was back in middle school in 1992 on an electric machine. Will have to ask my Mother for help as she had a treadle back in the day.
I think I am also going to pick up an antique treadle grinder I found today at an antique store. Time to go green with some old machines. LOL
