Nice that you finally got the FW you wanted.
Edited: Just noticed .... it looks like that red eye has been motorized? Don't like that idea although at the time it was probably modernized for the sewer. Still, I would certainly take it back to a treadle.
I missed this comment: yes, it's been motorized but the cord is s.h.o.t. and the motor is super questionable to me. The machine had a light at some point but it's gone. I have someone coming to love it/buy and it and they are going to take it back to a treadle.
