The video was interesting! Thanks for sharing it. We're looking over the machines we found in my MIL's shed after she passed. There's a 306W in there, and the wires were rotting off. If the motor's not good, it's nice to know that we could put it in the cabinet without it. The motor ran the treadle on this machine. I thought that was strange, but I'm new to this. I was wondering, though. Why not use the leather belts? They're cheap enough - 3 or 4 dollars, right? Do they not last? or is there another reason?
Thanks,
Marcy
