Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Okay, I finally got around to posting photos of my Singer cabinet conversion here on the Quilting Board.

I have it under tutorials since I couldn't figure out how to post in the Vintage Machine Shop area.
The title is Conversion of Singer treadle cabinet.

Actually there are several very nice looking machines on that website right now. A really nice red eye on the last page, and a Model 15 that Singer shows is a 28 from 1910 on page 3, I think. Really clean and nice. Also a Spartan (I bid $30 last time, but they had a reserve on it and it didn't sell).

Janice,
Are you sure this is a 99 and not a 66-1 with the back clamp.
I have only seen Singer 66-1 with the Lotus decals and back clamps, never seen a 99 that way. Here is the link to Singer:

The following link shows you how to adapt a tabletop so that you can put a treadle machine in/on it.

I'd like to see it when you're done.

Then I tried to trade her a 401 and she said NO WAY. She named the 503 Margaret after her grandma. DIL said "She is old and missing parts but she still gets things done." And she says "She was very fashionable in her day." The machine or the grandma??? Gotta love that gal!!! I keep giving her cams and a buttonholer for gifts. She quilted her old child hood t-shirts together one day and was so excited.

Hi
I'm not sure if this picture will come through. If it does, can anyone tell me what model this might be and if the cord is a replacement?
Thanks!

You'll have to shorten the belt, they are too long when you buy them.
Here's more directions on the Treadleon website.
