Hi Jim
Great to hear that you enjoyed your first treadle and VS experiences. A lot of throw away comments about long bobbin machines put people off them. My first machine - given to me - was a Singer 28K. I knew nothing about it so I didn't know I was supposed to be intimidated by the shuttle. I just watched Muv's videos on You Tube and got on with learning to clean and use the machine. Some worry about the long bobbins not holding much thread well - properly wound - they hold more than the pundits would have us believe. Enjoy the machine. I would love to see a picture of it.

Looks good. I don't see the usual "pin rash" commonly found on the arm on these old machines. Nice find. It is good to see these beauties put back into operation.

I have a parlor cabinet nearly identical to yours, minus the ornate wood scrolling. Mine has a narrow door on the left side too, that covers those drawers. I love it! It came with a fabulous 1908 Singer 66 Lotus. The whole deal was a wonderful find.
Love your beautiful cabinet and machine. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
