Oh, I feel for you. That is really sad, to wait so long and get it back and have something else wrong now. I am dying to get my treadle going. I learned to sew on one many years ago and as I recall, it is so relaxing to sew on a treadle. Mine I bought a year ago and it sat in water in it's previous life and one wheel is rusted solid and the treadle plate is all rusty too. Makes me so mad that anyone would abuse a nice machine and cabinet like that. So, get that treadle going and relax a bit, Maybe you won't even miss Miss Fancy so much.
