SOme of the links on the last page weren't working but the first page and most of the last page worked.

What specifically were you looking for?

That thread is great. It get's me excited about putting a top on the frame I have. The treadle wheel looks just like yours and measures 16 1/2" in diameter. The frame was rusty so I had it sandblasted and powder coated. A lot of the smaller parts I sent thru a vibratory finisher at my workplace and they cleaned up like new. They have been primed and repainted to match the black powder coat. The treadle is off-set from the drive wheel and the frame appears to be 4-5" longer than the home frames that I have seen. It is not a lot wider maybe only an inch or so.

As a side note a few years back I visited Niagara North Dakota and visited their tiny museum. The guide was a man in his 80's and after a lively discussion I learned that his mother worked as a seamstress for my grandfather sewing the material for the airplane wings.

a_bluescat, ISMACS has an entry under Class 31 Singer for your table. Its listed as Singer Table # 5231
Also there is one on fleabay titled "1928 Singer Model 31 Tailor Sewing Machine ....". He lists the dimensions
as:38" x 19" folded down, 47-1/2 x 25" both sides up.
These dimensions match a table I have but I am missing the left leaf.

Lee Copp has some pictures of a restored one with coffin top here:

The rear leaf has a complex hinge system that lets the leaf slide sideways to line up
with the left leaf when both are up. SteveH has a good picture of it in his thread.

I didn't interpret that at all....just that he would supply him with measurements so he could fabricate one. Sounds like the police to me.
