I'm having the devil's own time learning to use a treadle with a boat shuttle, so I've been keeping my eye out for a likely non-shuttle candidate, and finally found one on CL. We went to pick it up this weekend, and I've since spent the last few days cleaning 90 years of grime off the head, and 90 years of polish and wax off the table. Cosmetically they've both seen better days, but I'm *amazed* at how quiet it is! Now I'm just waiting for the bobbin slide plate and treadle belt to get here, so I can start using it!

Now she just needs a name!
