    Met up with Quiltncowgirl on Saturday to do a mini-shop hop & to exchange treadles. Now her 1891 VS2 will be in it's original cabinet, and my 66 Lotus decal will be in a newer treadle. I will have to do some work on the finish on the cabinet, but not serious. Also the 15 that came in the treadle needs serious cleaning, but overall looks OK. I have a portable case to put that in and a motor to put on it. I'll put up pics when I get to work on them, but it won't be for a while....I am SLAMMED with quilting projects right now...

I haven't got the flip top completely done, still working on that part, but she is sitting in the cabinet ready to go! So easy to put a 319w in a treadle - she just dropped right in - no adjustments at all! Now I need to find time to play with her - she will be one of my favorite treadles I am sure![ATTACH=CONFIG]286231[/ATTACH]

    Curious to know if it is hard to treadle??

    Ray White is the guy to go to for Elna parts....he was previously an Elna dealer and repairman, and has a website where you can get stuff for these old ladies!
    Do you happen to have the address?

    Hmm...naw. Think I'll just stay "sick" and let it run its course.

    you can just search Ray White and find good info
    Those little Elna's are pretty cool - there is a man in Noblesville, Indiana works on them - he does nice work - so many parts too!!!

    Glad to see you back for awhile Miz Johnny, My 319 in a treadle is easy to treadle as the red eye no problem here.

    Here's another seller close to me on CL that is living in an alternate reality. Anyone watch "Fringe"? I think they may be living in that alternate world....

    Well, they can just oogle it now - I am keeping that machine! I wish it could talk and tell all of us the story of how it ended up in a storage cargo unit auctioned off in the US!
