I am going to do some special cleaning and replace the cord on it. I found a site to help me find some of the soft parts (belts and rubber for the bobin winder) and to guide me through the process. It is vintagesingers. A group from yahoo groups. If you are interested.

Oh, wow! I am envious. I used to play on my grandma's treadle. I wish my family hadn't just disposed off it at the city dump. I can't help you with 'dating' your machine, but what a wonderful treasure to have.
