I went into a boutique-ish junk/thrift store once after seeing a featherweight silhouette in the window. While there I saw a lot of treadles minus the heads-- the owner proudly explained to me that they were into "useful repurposing" so they were buying up old treadle machines and turning the bases into tables-- they had thrown the heads away. Aaargggggg!!!!!

that's where I got the $60 featherweight-- they thought it was small enough to make a nice decorative lamp or something and hadn't got around to messing with it...
