I think if someone wants them with all their attachements etc I would just give them to them if they paid for shipping.
Thats how sick I feel right now.

Can you find just the motor to put in it? It looks like if you can do that the rest should follow suit. The needle bar looks good and the rest of the machine looks like it is in good condition.

I say save it!!!

If you want to see the one that kicked my butt here it is.......Singer 185J that sat in water for 20 years.

Ooops, my mistake, this really is my third treadle. I think this will be my last. Although I just saw a new one today... it could be hopeless for me not to just take a peek each day. :oops:

Sweet, I love the shape of the bed.

And you messed with it Billy. I think I would have just used it for a doorstop. I have to get the needlebar moving its stuck as is the hand wheel. maybe if I just clean off all the white stuff I can get it running again. I am still going to rehome all my machines but a few. I just can't stand to see more go like this.

serial number is AH629264 appears to be 1948 out of 15000 batch so its a 201?
I need to bring it up and get better pictures, we can't quite access it where it is
The treadle is in terrible shape and needs a cabinet. Can't get to the front until Sunday for a better picture.

Oh you have no idea as to how bad it was. I was wanting to save the case and build it back but I could not get the main shaft out of it to be able to do the rebuild and repaint. I ended up taking everything off of it that I could save (wasnt much) and tossing it. It just about killed me to do that. But I did every trick I knew to get it apart.

Yes it is a 201 and a nice one at that!!! The treadle is the one you have your work cut out for you, but it looks like it would clean up really nice. Congratulations on your acquisitions!!

Okay, I have a sickness. I got two more machines today. The Singer 30 was not as nice as the pictures or I dreamed, but I got it anyway. I have to have help to unload from the car. I don't want to hurt my back again. So it will be a 2nd or third project.

But I also got this one "vintage?" for free, Singer Model 337 made in Great Britian. It is not working. I thought it may just be something loose because I heard something rattling in the machine. Well it was a lovely marble. How do you suppose that got in there?

The hand wheel turn but nothing else does. So this will be a pretty machine to sit on the shelf for awhile.

Ann, it looks like you have your work cut out on your machines. It seems amazing the decals on your treadle look fairly decent considering the shape the rest of it is in.

Looking forward to seeing you 'after' photos.

Lisa, what a pretty shade of green your Singer is. ;-)
