Edited to say - I would be more likely to buy it in a treadle cabinet rather than with electricity.
I have bought several old machines because I have 4 granddaughters and 1 grandson. I want to be able to teach them how to sew and let them do it when they come to visit me. I have replaced wiring on lamps before but never on a sewing machine. Can someone tell me if it really requires you to be a certified electrician to do this or is it pretty straight forward and simple when replacing the wiring?
