The irons have decal work on them in the front and back and the little round "O" has vertical feed printed on it but you can't see it in the pictures. The drawer pulls have Davis written on them. The foot pedal has vertical feed on it also has a wooden pitman. Has anyone on here seen a tension like the one on this? It has an extension that raises up to make a larger table. Wasn't someone on here looking for a picture of a bracket like this one? If they were I hope they can see it ok. Best part about the whole machine is that it works good.
OH. WOW. You are going to love that vertical feed. Never seen a tension like that. Pretty cool!!! It probably works about like any other tension though. If you have to take the tension apart to clean it, do it slowly and keep things in order so you can reassemble.
