I'm very excited for you. I just got my 1924 treadle working. It just needed a new belt and some oiling. Of course, I had to figure out how to thread it, but it felt like Christmas when I sewed a line of stitching, and it worked!!! It does bite you with the bug to buy every bargain vintage/antique machine you see! Good luck driving by the next garage sale.
