Thanks Joe! I'm dying for my friend to Skype me so I can see exactly what we are dealing with. I thought I'd read some threads here about machines that are impossible to find parts for. I'm mainly helping her to evaluate whether she can sell the machine. It would be an easier sale and for more money if it worked and was complete. While I'd love to try a treadle, I'm not sure if I need to own one or can fit one in my house.
I hope to report back with a name, model number and photo. But in the meantime you have given me a lot of things to check out on the machine - if she ever Skypes me!!
