Default What constitutes a vintage sewing machine?

My DH went through a stage last year where he thought every old sewing machine at a thrift store was worth money. I have two treadles and about eight older machines now. I am going to do more research on all of them. The treadles will work if I can figure out how to put the belts on. One treadle is over 100 years old (I was told) and I cannot get the belt to meet and stay connected. Anyway.... my main question is; I read somewhere on the QB that you can remove the feed dogs and do FMQ on an older machine. Is that true?
