That looks like the one I have!! It was given to me because I am the only sewer in my husband's family.
I haven't tried mine to see if it works, but I don't think it does. Looks like the belts will need replaced.

She is very beautiful.My friend has given me a old singer, but I haven't gotten her home yet, I do have a place set up for her though.My family worked at singer in Truman Arkansas,I have since found out it was used as a warehouse and not a production site.I used to think singer was the only machine there was,because thats all everyone had .

Kwhite - she IS a beauty BUT I have to reprimand you... she is NOT a tTOY... she is a TOOL.. (with which to create beautiful things) My husband has drumed this into my head for years.---when he came home with a new power tool.... I would say.. Hey what a cool TOY! Au contraire. THIS is a TOOL.... soooo I am jealous of your new tool.. I hope you get hours and hours of pleasure from this machine... my only experience with a treadle was I could only sew BACKWARDS..... lol!

I recently was offered my grandmother's machine by my family.
I also learned to sew on that machine at my mother's side. She made clothes for the entire family on that treadle machine.
I am anxious to receive the machine and work with it.
Have a great time.
Our local quilt shop has belts and such for Singer treadles. Check the shops or repair shops in your area and see how they can help.
