Looks to be a 66 which I think is much better than getting a 127 because of the round bobbin. That is one beautiful machine and the cabinet is wonderful. You really lucked out.

I bought a treadle just like it a couple of weeks ago and I downloaded a manual off the internet. I also paid $100 for mine but it needed a belt and the presser foot and tension were seized so I took it to my machine repair man and it cost me $170 to get it all fixed but I think it was worth it. I've even sewed a couple of blocks on it. Wooks like a dream. The manual came in handy when I had to wind a bobbin. I couldn't remember how to do it. yours is probably similiar to mine. Go to Singer.com and check for a manual.

Get some Gojo-without pumice- from your auto parts shop and gently clean the machine head. It looks like some beautiful decals are waiting for you under the layer of gunk. Once you clean off the surface grime, you can rub a little machine oil over it and it will GLOW!

Inside the machine, put some Liquid Wrench everywhere the manual shows to put oil, and let it sit a bit. Then come back and clean that out with brushes, Q-tips, rags or whatever. Then re-oil the machine and it should run as great as it ever did.

Enjoy your beauty! These are the best machines... same model as mine in my avatar. It's my favorite to sew on and treadling is so relaxing and peaceful.

That's not working anymore :( Now all it tells you is the year your machine was "born/issued"
Darn, they've changed it again! Luckily a few people downloaded all the information while it was still available. ;-)
NB 124.626 does anyone have the list that includes this 301A

I thought you were going to tell us that as soon as you saw the red eye your heart skipped a beat and the pacemaker actually picked it up. LOL But seriously it sounds great that you are doing well and that you got such a great find. :thumbup:

Here is a cute video, by Treadle Lady, showing how to thread and use a model 66 treadle machine. In the beginning of the video she is showing the cabinet but about half way through it is when she starts showing the machine. I highly recommend her little booklet, also. It's inexpensive and contains loads of info.

Good luck with your new machine. A red-eye was my first vintage machine!! They are so-o-o pretty!
