Default Bought White treadle head: wondering about fitting it into cabinets.

Morning, folks,
I was blessed to find a White treadle head, circa 1903 at the thrift shop for 9.95 last week. It is grimy but the decals are in good shape for the most part. it came with a bag of toys, mostly the quilt binding feet. One or two i can't recognize. Turns smoothly and had the VS shuttle and one bobbin.
Questions:
How difficult is it to find a cabinet for these machines? There was one at a different thrift store the same day but it was 100.00 and was missing a drawer front.
Also i'd like to have more than one bobbin, so where can i find more?
Has anyone used Woolite to wash the grime off? My DH uses that to was the grime off some of the old tools and Internationals he brings home.
The attachments have spots of rust, how does one go about fixing that or does one?
Julia
