OK--the New Home A was built to go in a treadle. Is it still in a treadle, or has it been electrified? If so, it probably has a friction motor; not my favorite to deal with. I'm also not a fan of electric VS machines. They tend to rattle around too much for me.
I like New Home machines, though I must admit I like them mostly for their good looks. I have several around here, but I don't really sew on any of them. I just have never gotten around to doing so!!
Also, both of the Singer machines do take regular needles--forgot to state that in the last email.

sticked= cannot open or slide the whatchamacallit to get the bobbin out or slide some other things. The owners believe $40 is a good deal, even with these issues... looked up on the internet.
