...and I forgot to mention, the first thing you do is a lot of cleaning and oiling, all parts where metal move against metal needs oil, including the treadle bits under the table. Leather belts for the treadle is luckily easy to find, and there are reproduction bobbins available too. It takes standard 130 needles (aka 705 and 15x1). It takes general low shank accessories and they are in plenty; just make sure they are for the old straight stitch machines (zigzag machines feet have winder set feed dogs and feet accordingly, so doesn't always work that well).
