Pat,
maybe Ray White might have a part?

Has a Camstack drive listed on his site. Not sure what you need but he buys vintage Elna's so he may have a part?

For those folks who mentioned looking for a RedEye treadle/hand-crank head for a decent price....

Hi Steve,
I can’t make out the serial number in the photo, I don’t see it written in the description, and the Singer badge is missing (can see the holes where it HAD been), but it might even be a Centennial machine. I would say that the head, bench top, and treadle stand are all of different ages. That’s just my guess.
I have a 1951 Singer 31-15 (AK443567) Centennial that I’d like to get set up and running in my industrial treadle one of these days, but I just don’t have the room for it right now. We had a 1936 Singer 96-40 in the treadle stand for a while (I had rigged a small electric motor on it for her in the photo below), and my wife experimented with FMQ on it, but I took too long to find a suitable FM foot for it. That, plus we ran out of room for it in our home, and she decided to start sending her large quilts out to a friend with a Long Arm. She does her smaller quilts on a Singer 301A (was mine, now it’s hers, long story).

A Singer 401G or 411G that I can treadle, and a Singer 431 (401 Freearm).
I’m also keeping my eye out for an aluminum 99 and an aluminum 201.

I'd like to find a really nice German treadle. That Kayser I found in Colorado is still for sale but she won't budge from her 500 price tag.
A Wheeler Wilson 8 treadle. I missed out on the one recently on Ebay. I made an offer for it but someone else made a higher offer by 10 bucks.
If funds were unlimited I'd like to have an Elias Howe machine, or pretty much anything from Civil War era.
I'd also like to have a Willcox & Gibbs, and a table/treadle for my industrial Singer head.
My Singer 24 treadle is coming home today, and I pick up my 29 after the first, which crossed 2 off my list
