This design eventually became the standard 15x1 design we all use today.
Nifty!
I'm happy to hear that the 130 takes a 15x1 needle. My Pfaff 60 treadle does also. I wonder if the 130 could be treadled and would probably fit in the 60's cabinet.
I've been drooling over a Pfaff 130 lately, however I'm sure that another machine in the herd wouldn't go over well with the spousal unit.
