nwm50,
Watch shopgoodwill.com for your treadle base. Here is one that has already been stripped of it's cabinet:

I am in IL, not too far from that e-bay treadle. "
IF" I had the purchase price and gas money I'd go get it. But I don't. Hopefully someone who actually wants a treadle machine will go for it and not someone who's gonna make a table out of it.
