So...I have one machine, a New Home from the mid 1940-1950 range. Missing a bobbin and bobbin case. No longer locked up, but turns rather roughly right now. I may have to remove the rod again and polish it some more to make it move more smoothly in its bushings. I have a White that moves well, sews when I spin the hand-wheel, but no belt and the cabinet is limping along missing one of its wooden legs. Wouldn't it be nice if all the heads and cabinets were interchangeable? And the Minnehaha, oldest of all of them, is working just fine. I saw a table made out of treadle irons and thought...hey, I could cut a hole in that and drop a machine in...Couldn't I?
