back to the original thread.... I just found out I did something similar to the OP.
When I first started collecting i got a great deal on a Wheeler Wilson 12 (industrial) but it was literally in a box...
Well last night I pulled out the box hoping I could put it all together and have it up for the show this weekend in Willits, when I found a bag labeled "parts" stuffed in the pile of wood that was the drawer....

6 original Wheeler & Wilson #9 needle packs, 2x Boye #16 needle tubes (3x needles in each), three bobbins, and 1 bobbin case!!
Oh, and the main drive shaft for the treadle has 6 of the 18 ball bearings...
I am hoping to buy those today and get it back together tonight.
