Well, I re-read the part about the drilled hole and the cross drilled hole and figured it out and why it would be there. My 128 had what looked like lint in that hole. I don't have the machine here right now, but I will fill it with felt or batt.
The treadle machine that I just got has the needle with just a round shaft, so I have to figure out which way to orient it. I don't like that, but if it gets fixed, it may work better than it did the last time I used it.
And thanks everybody for all the good information.
