Thank you all. I had wondered if I could treadle it too. I would love to have that ability. It does seem to be missing the light cover but I don't know if there is something else to turn the light on and off. I have tried it out with a piece of fabric with a straight stitch and it is so quiet and sews beautifully. I did find a manual and now I will oil and clean it. I am pleased with it. Man it is heavy though.
