Billy, Have you posted it for sale at Treadle On? If I had it I'd put a hand crank on it, there's no more room in my house for a treadle base. Your price is cheap for such good work.

Using a treadle machine is relaxing, it took me about a month to get the rhythm down. One benefit of using a
treadle machine is that you can watch TV and still hear it or
be able to carry on a conversation while sewing.
When the power goes out you can still sew!! Yippee!!!.
Been happily treadling since 2007,

p.s. this is my 1937 Singer 201 treadle

My Singer 201 is nearly silent when properly oiled, a joy to sew with.

Darn Billy! If I had known I would have bought this one instead of the two I bought off e-bay.

Come on folks you better hurry up and buy it before I toss it in with my others to keep in the studio. I am thinking about making a quilt with it if it sits in my treadle any longer!

This is no doubt the smoothest running 66 I have ever had in my possession. So make me an offer!!

Billy

If it doesn't sell on here, there has to be other venues. Not that I would suggest eBay as an option, but possibly something else, maybe? I want to see you sell it and make a fortune off of it. Good luck!! If I was at all interested in treadling, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat!
