Thanks for this information! I just checked and yes they are there. I do not know much about these so I am going to have to do a lot of research. I'm guessing it does not have the Needle Up/Down feature though... ;)
I learned to sew on a 27 treadle. I would love to have one. Have never seen one that has been converted to electric. The bobbin winder is supposed to run against the treadle belt. Even with a rubber wheel it will not reach to the hand wheel to work. Not sure how you would wind a bobbin unless you move the belt.
