And I've got an empty treadle cabinet and base that's looking for a resident. So one never can tell what I just might stick in there. My only desire is to have a good solid treadle machine that has a reverse. I just might put my 66-18 in a treadle cabinet, but so far it lives in a bent wood case.

Joe find a 15-88 or most all 15's except the really really early ones do have reverse! I have a 15-88 treadle that I love!

My 319 is in treadle just because I think it is so cool to treadle a machine with decorative stitches! Good exercise too!
