Great Find! You know, the more I see of these older machines, the more I'm happy to own a few. All of my vintage machines, including the two treadles are operable and sew very well. I enjoy using them. Makes me wonder why I spent so much money for a modern machine......However, saying that, my main machine also does embroidery and that was the motivation for purchasing it. But for everyday sewing and quilting....give me a Singer 301, featherweight, or my 115 treadle, or my White VS treadle, or.......sad isn't it, this collection addiction:)
