Anyone know anything about a 206K25? It looks like a domestic machine but listed on ISMACS as an Industrial. Serial Number says it is 10/1/52. It doesn't look industrial!

Your not supposed to do that, it takes the fun out of getting something good for next to nothing. Plus if they already had a bid on it they can not update the listing.

If you scroll down under the original description there is an update. No pic though.

Centennial Badged 128.......

OK, that did it!!! Now I'm gonna have to bid on it!!! Shoot!! :mrgreen:

Well, they made it "Pick Up Only", so that leaves me out!! BOO!!!

The originals and the replacements being sold are felt.

My Featherweight has an oil pan? Never knew. How do you get to it? And what do I use to replace the fiber/cardboard?

It's probably not called an oil pan, but its on the bottom of the machine. There's a big screw there and inside there is a black paper/cardboard in the bottom. Just take it out, cut a new, and replace. I used a shoe box lid, will need to replace it I'm sure. DH says not to oil it so much and there won't be any excess oil.

I think I'd try using black felt glued to thin cardboard. Just my idea. The idea is to trap excess oil, dirt and lint, again my thinking.

$125 is a good price if it's in decent condition. Here they all seem to be listed in the $200 to $300 range. My guess is they're not selling for that, though.

Yes, that's exactly the setup I was envisioning for my 66. Quiltncowgirl and I are looking at lots of treadles in the Central CA area to find one we can "split" -- she wants a head, I want the treadle. I think we'll probably find one in the next couple of weeks. They are EXPENSIVE here!! Every one over $125, no matter the condition.
