Thank you, thank you, thank you Miz Johnny!!!! You made my day and I really mean that. I had no idea what all those gadgets were that are with the machine. I can't wait to get a belt and start her going. I can I repay you for giving this info to me.After cleaning and boiling down 1/2 bushel of grapes and making apple pies today I sat down totally exhausted and jumped on my computer and found your information. I'm one happy camper, whoops learning to be a quilter.

And in the last photo is the treadle from the W&W D9 I bought that I am going to put a Singer cabinet to put my 9W in and put it in with my collection in the house. Its been freshly painted and its waiting on the wooden pitman arm to finish drying before I put it on.

I enjoy seeing what everyone does with machines--we're all different and have a different focus, it's truly interesting to see what each individual has in mind when they haul that machine in!

I was in Tennessee last weekend for a TVQA quilt retreat. There are quilt guilds everywhere in TN, so maybe sometime when life gets a little calmer (hah!), you could join one and learn from other quilters. I live in KY, but am a member at large just so I can go to the retreats!!

Wow, I love pictures!
This is what my DH and I found today at a yard sale. She is a May 12, 1936, 99K made in Clydebank, Scotland! She is perfect, decals look great! I got her for $15 (I think because I can't run her!) She needs to be changed to a 120V motor from a 240V motor! This is probably why she is so perfect -- she couldn't be used here!

Nice work Billy! :thumbup: I have an old redeye that I am cleaning and will repaint it black and will add a handcrank or at least this is what I want to do. I am building a bed for it now. I understand you are now in the parts business for I may need some parts soon. Glenn
