I purchased my Wheller & Wilson W9 Treadle sewing machine about 4-5 years ago in an antique shop in Woodland, CA (near Davis & Sacramento), SN 2562153.

I haven't done much with it since then, but can now display it in my revised cutting and stash area (formerly our family room).

The machine needs a new belt at a minimum and a general cleaning. I was able to find a reprint of the machine's manual, which I've ordered.

I've just started to research the machine, but would appreciate any info or tips anyone can offer about rehabiliting this machine. I learned to sew on my Grandmother's Singer treadle, which sadly went to a church rummage sale in 1968.

Here are some photos. Not too good because of the background light.
