I originally set out to find some parts for my 1901 treadle model 27 that had been in the family possibly since 1901.
I picked up a 1910 model 27. It is too nice to cannibalize. I have it operational and put it up for sale. Only because these machines seem to multiply...
I picked up a model 15-91 today serial number AG313649. The number was allotted with 35000 on December 30th 1941 so I’m guessing it had to be built in 1942. I wasn’t planning on adding any more machines but 1941/1942 struck a possible rarity with me. Also it had an owners manual and says it can reverse stitch
I got it home and replaced the power cord and oiled it some. It’s still very sluggish. I’m thinking it’s the controller. I haven’t took the controller apart yet. I do remember we used to be able to flip the winding in slot car controllers to avoid worn segments. The cabinet shows some signs of being refinished I noticed some drips on one edge of the table.
