I don't know, I think I could be bothered to hunt down a foot pedal for an additional $600.

The treadle is a complete makeover. I haven't decided if all the wood has all been completely replaced. The table top certainly has. Singer wasn't in the habit of using roll cut red oak veneer on their tops. Walnut or quartersawn white oak were the woods of choice back then.
