Default 66 Project

OK I have jumped in with both feet. I found this Red Eye in Portland while up there on a visit. I want to restore her back to a treadle machine - it had a really amateur looking motor conversion. The treadle and wheel are missing, and the thread spool spindle but I think that's all. Cabinet is in fairly good shape. I paid $90 - good deal???, I don't know but I love it and can't wait to get started cleaning it up. At one time I saw a site that showed really great pictures and information about taking an old machine apart and cleaning it up - I thought it was on this board, but can't seem to find it. If anyone has links to sites that might sell parts, or help guide me thought this project, I appreciate any help. This is the first time I have tried something like this.
