Question on Singer treadle irons...........
I've got a very beautiful Singer 66 which came to me with a circa 1930's motor in a portable case. The wiring was so bad / motor so old I removed the motor and converted it to a handcrank.
There are always a lot of Singer irons on Craigslist in my area so I'm thinking of using a very nice vintage piece of butcher block that I already have to remount/treadle my 66 over irons.
Could someone give me the dimension for the width/depth of the Singer irons which I could fit up with my Singer 66?
And while I'm at it, since I don't know a lot about treadle irons: I see some irons have a wooden pitman and others have a metal rod (instead of a wooden pitman). What's the difference? Just vintage of the irons or is it model of Singer machine?
Always looking to learn......
Thanks in advance!
