Default Bernina Treadle

Hi everyone. I was just curious about something. Over 25 years ago I found a Bernina treadle at a thrift store. I bought it it and have used it over the years. It had about 12 different stitches, was green, and was made like the Bernina Record. You didn't have to treadle as fast since the fly wheel was large. I moved this heavy thing around for over 20 years before deciding to sell. I hated to part with it but I really didn't use it after getting many more machines. (you know how they breed and multiply). I never found any information about a treadle Bernina. The only thing I heard which may or may not be true) was that they made a small run after WWII in Europe when many houses did not have electricity. I would post a picture but since I sold it a few years ago I cannot. I have always been curious about this machine. Has any body ever heard of a treadle Bernina?
