I have an antique White Rotary sewing machine that is in perfect working condition. I would like to put it in an old cabinet and use it with the treadle hooked up.My question is..Can I use an old Singer cabinet or will I have to find a cabinet made for the White Rotary? Thank you for any help.

From what I remember, as I gifted mine away, the Rotary's pins were a different width away than Singers and the machine itself was very square. I had the model 77, other models may be different. I would suspect you would need a Rotary cabinet but take careful measurements with you.

How old is antique, in your opinion? ( I just know I'll be sorry for asking that. LOL)

Its a 1920 model. Its in a table top case with a Hamillton Beach motor attatchment. I want to hook it back up with the treadle but finding a "White" cabinet does not seem to be very easy. I can make any changes to the top if need be. My concern was..Can I use any foot treadle with this machine?

If everything lines up, yes. I'd check the belt before I cut the cabinet or made any other alterations.
