We live where no one repairs, anyhow we are SM Collectors.Started bringing em home and fixing em our selves . I have 4 Treadles 1 is greatgranny, yes sometimes we name them. Your machine is Highly Saveable! Give er a try. Need help search for Fix SM's,or Parts forSM, Might put in the Name and Model# anything helps and mostly information is Free.Hope this helps!!!
