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.

amboo, my 128 from 1952 has a black cord. I would think that's a replacement.
vintagemotif, Little Miss leader will be pretty when she's cleaned up. Since the weather has been better so I can open up the house, I haven't had time. I'm sure it's the same machine as Mollie'smom's.

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!

That sure is a pretty machine! Nice shape.
Back on page 1112, I inquired about buying spools of leather, rather than belt kits.( http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-43881-1112.htm#3349480 ) However, a huge influx of new machines overshadowed my inquiry, and no one responded. So, now that we're on the subject of belts . . . are there any pros and cons on the subject of buying spools of round leather, or beveled? One spool will belt many machines, and is less expensive than 5 new belts from my local dealer.

Will an old belt still in the package still be any good - if so how would I know?

I find this post amusing. Anyhow, it will all be free by end of week.

I am interested in this machine, have replied and haven't heard back. Since posting a question on this thread about my featherweight about a month or so ago, I have been having a good time reading old posts, but am only up to about page183! Love looking at all your old machines and am finding myself increasingly drawn in........!!!!

It would appear that our dear Billy's recent encounter with a copperhead has affected his mind....oh well, since we all love him so much, let's see if we can help him out with his latest venture....I would offer to help but I am just a little bit too far out of his way...

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.
