Default 1895 and 1914 Singers

My son just brought me these two treadle sewing machines. They aren't in very good condition, but would like to try and bring some life back into them. This is new to me and have found some great info here. The hunt for a treadle sewing machine started when my son began to restore my treadle cabinet. I have had the cabinet since I was about 12 years old. I used as a table for all of my sewing machines since then. It was in bad need of refinishing so it has been in the garage for a very long time. We are expanding my sewing room since all the kids are gone and I brought my cabinet back out to clean her up and give her a place in my new room. I would love to find a treadle sewing machine to fit my cabinet that actually runs. It is not a Singer cabinet and neither of these two sewing machines fit the cut out and the pins do not line up to attach it.
