Questions about The Free Sewing machine
My newest acquisition is a Free long shuttle rotary, serial # is C326057.

While researching the machine, I came across a post here by leonf, that said that one of his Free rotociollos had ball bearings and one did not. I have been cleaning, and mine doesn't seem to have them either. This has me wondering why some do and some don't - date of manufacture? price? other reasons? Hoping that Leon or some other of you knowledgeable people can enlighten me. Any information on the machine, dating, etc, would be much appreciated.
Also curious about the treadle cabinet, the thing that attracted me in the first place. So far I haven't found one that looks like this one, wondering if it's a later model, or not a Free cabinet, although it is similar to the ones I have seen, it opens the other way. Doesn't have the Free brand on it anywhere that I can find.I sure do like it, though, it fits into a small space when closed.
