Send them on, both the machines and hubby!!! :mrgreen:

The machines your talking about are really simple to work on and you can just about convert any external motor machine to a treadle. I was thinking about converting my 1963 Kenmore to a treadle if and when the motor craps out on it.

I found someone who just acquired over 200 vintage machines and I am going through the photos and list of them picking out the ones I want. I should end up with 15 to 20 machines out of this deal if the price is right. The ones that I am looking at, the newest one is around 1930 and go back to the 1880's and are from various manufacturers.

Then there is the 8 hour drive one way to get them........
