Hi Billy, Here is th photo of the Treadle head I'm talking about. She is asking $45 to buy it now+$30 shipping. Is that too much with the added cost of a motor +belt for it? It is pretty! Anne

I took mine apart to clean it thoroughly thinking it was the same as my other 66 treadle but this one doesn't have the black piece for the bobbin winder but a steel one. I goes together differently. I have most of it put back but can't figure out the rest. It is made differently than the other treadle.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, Billy I did it again!

OH Jan not again..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Let me see if I can take some non fuzzy photos of my bobni winder and hope this helps you.!!!

love a picture. 301's are the greatest machines ! sew much heavier than a FW, has drop feed for FM quilting, best lighting, gear-driven.
I am looking for a black, long-bed. smitty

I live in central NJ and There aren't many of them around anymore. They just throw stuff in the gabage around here. I called my niece last week to see if my stepfather still had the treadle from his mother he promised me-- She put it in the trash when she moved in to make a sitting room. I am so upset. It wasn't a fancy one but it did work very well. My grandmother taught me how to sew on a treadle and it's something you never forget. Just like riding a bike!!!. So, don't ask me how but this site was in my email and the of course I had to go to the Vintage thread and here I am with 9 sewing machines and wanting the one like I learned how to sew on. What a dilema !! I'm going to look at a few more threads. finish the chenille rug I started. Woe is me. Anne

Well, It is the cutest little Sewing Machine. It is a Montgomery Wards VS, but it has such a modern art deco style to it. It has a rotary motor. Not sure of its age or anything else, but its cute.
