If anybody is interested, PM me and I can tell you where it's located. The cabinet will take quite alot of work.

The same thing happened to me today with the 15-30 in the parlor cabinet. My DH would have bought it for me as a birthday/Christmas present (he said so!) - but I really have no place to put it and the machine isn't in as good shape as mine (I'd swap it out if i got it) and it wasn't as cool as the cabinet I saw in the "Tea and Treadle" video with the machine that pops up. This one the machine lifted up - it had less drawers, no attachments - it just didn't 'talk' to me.

Thank you for this Charlee, great info to have in one place
;-)

Billy, Glad to see you around again. Know it is tough but are you feeling better these days?

How do you keep a machine from being parted out turned into a coffee table if you can't keep it? I have decided the little New Home Ruby needs more restoring than I can do, but I don't want her to be taken apart. She's a 1904 and deserves better. Such a cute little machine. Freecycle? Salvation Army? Ad in the paper?

I got it out - hit the shaft to straighten it out and put it back but I think I didn't do it quite right so it doesn't work any better. ggggrrrrr..... by now there are probably vital screws missing. I do very much understand how the thing is suppose to work now. It doesn't scare me or leave me weak any more - just only frustrated. I'm not a quitter so even though I've spent hours & days on it, I'll take another stab at it again - that was my day....
