Meet "Miss Ida" my treadle machine
Here are pics of my Singer 1934 15-88 treadle machine. "Miss Ida" has been in the house awhile and so far is a great end table (!). Just now had time and gumption enough to open her up for cleaning. She was purchased at a flea market one windy summer day on a dirt patch. So she is full of grime. Her wheel turns and the needle shaft and bobbin rotates freely and smooth, the treadle part doesn't so much. Going to need her spa bath in kerosine, and lots of massaging to open her up. All I have done so far is clean her once with sewing machine oil. Got alot of her dirt off. Her cabinet is in fair condition, nothing seriously wrong, but not a stunning beauty either. But neither am I, so we should get along just fine.
