I think this maybe the main cause of my rats nest problem. This is the shuttle carrier on the OUR SPECIAL.

Lee,
Yes, I would like to see what the bracket looks like. I spent some time googling for an image of the cabinet with bracket today, but did not find an image of the bracket. Most images were of the side down. Even though I will not be hunting down a bracket for this cabinet, I would like to see what the original looks like. Maybe one day the bracket will show up for me to assemble on this machine. But for now, I'm planning to rig up some metal plate that will swing into place to hold the top up.

The cabinet is all assembled, treadle is oiled and runs smoothly, and machine is all cleaned up. I just need handles for the drawers and some pseudo bracket. For 122 years old, she makes a very pretty stitch!

Janice, I can't remember if you have other FWs. If you don't, I can guarantee you that you will enjoy your new one. Congrats...

This is my first FW, and I have her home. No pics yet. She was born approx. May 1957, came with bobbins but no other attachments. Looks like original cords and pedal, and they are in great condition. She's a little rougher than I would have liked, but I'm pleased to have her. Don't know how I'm gonna tell DH about her....she's hiding in her case under my sewing table against the wall for now. And spent a whole lot more than $7 on her (unlike Abby), so I may not be OK!!! LOL

I know we will be keeping an eye out.

Well, I'm on my way, tomorrow for this model 15 for $20.00!!!!!!
I don't really know much about it but the people are moving and need it out of the house. It was being advertised as a different model but I recognized it.

Cathy that's a great looking 15!!
