Old "IDEAL HOME" treadle
 

My ex has his Great grandmothers treadle and said I could have it if I gave it to our daughter eventually. Would like to Try and refurbish it but I can't find out much about it. Has the shuttle and a bobbin, needs a belt and good cleaning oil, and needles. Can any one point me in the right direction? The cabinet is in pretty good condition, but I am interested in the machine! Thank you Raine54rn

Muv has a ton of videos on the sticky at the top of the Vintage & Antique Machine Enthusiasts page - she also has a blog you can look through. Lots of helpful information: http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...v-t167789.html

Nice! I do not know for sure, but I would suspect that you could look up "New Ideal" or "New Home" and get a machine that is pretty close.

Have been all over the Internet and the Quilting Board site and it appears to be a New Home! Even discovered how to thread it! Now to find a source for bobbins and needle size. Found a new leather belt on Ebay, so I've gotten a good start. Any help on sources for the rest I'll be happy to note. Thank you for the responses thus far. Raine54rn
