I think I might have one. Does yours have a reverse lever?

ThayerRags

Yes on mine. It comes out under the upper shaft, instead of out through the pillar.

ThayerRags, Thanks for the reply again. Yes I think my machine is 3/4 size also. So the #705 will take a standard needle. That's good. I'm sure it's a European size needle type since the manual is old. No date on the manual of course, so it could of been replaced with a standard manual such as yours.

Mine takes regular everyday normal off the store peg needles.

I have some of the 16X257 needles. Email me if you need any. I had a friend that needed some for an Anker/Free Westinghouse today.

Nice looking little machine. I like the simplicity of the decals, they're more like a machine from the 1930s on but the bentwood case and style of the lettering makes it seem older. I'm not even going to guess at the actual year it was made. Very pretty machine.

Hello everyone! I haven't visited for some time - got a message from Miriam and Trish (crossstitcher) on the same day asking why! Wow, were you two talking? If not that is weird! I still have most of my machines - still use my 319W in treadle for everyday sewing and piecing. I had to move 3 more of my treadles out to my sewing machine museum - my house was just getting too cluttered! I am not collecting anymore except for the occasional featherweight or a 301 if I see them - I can't resist those machines - and Pfaff's of course! I wish I could keep all my treadles in the house so I could use them. It makes me sad that they not readily available. Anyway, I will try to visit more often!

Nancy, it gets weirder. I was thinking about you and your absence from here just yesterday. Hmmm.
I am glad you dropped in to say hi.

Nancy glad to hear you are okay. I have almost worn the fishy quilt out waiting for you to post again. I did contact Charlie to see if she is okay and she is fine just dealing with family. I am having to slow down on collecting machines to now that I have 50+ machines. I do sew with them thou. The wife put her foot down and said no more we don't have anymore room. Glad to hear from you anyway.

Nancy no I haven't talked with Miriam just great minds think alike.lol. Think Glenn was on the same brain wave. Dave and I are glad everyone is doing well. Stopped collecting machines until today and lady gave us 3 machines. Two in cabinets and one yucky portable. Don't know what they are yet have to pick them up.
Glenn glad you are still using the fishy quilt that was a blast to make with everyone making a square and Nancy did a great job putting it all together.
