Can anyone tell me if a Singer machine will fit into a "New Home" treadle base? Found one for $25 at a garage sale in really good condition, but am uncertain if my Singers would fit. I purchased a modern cabinet for an electric machine but mine won't fit into it. Love the cabinet, though, so am keeping it for the time being.

It looks like a HC I bought a few weeks ago and meant to post photos but got busy with other stuff. Mine was on eBay with a starting price of 99 cents and there were no bidders, then I contacted the seller later and said I would be in the city (2 hrs each way) that weekend and could I collect it. Felt a bit miserly handing over 99 cents so I gave them $5....LOL
It was totally seized, nothing moved but an hour after starting a full spa treatment I had it working. I found about a dozen needles (some rusty) in the base and even cleaned those because I'm not sure if they are still available. The top cover looks quite home made and I've since been told they were an optional extra, but the timber has old newspaper glued in place and one date I could read was from the mid 1890's so I guess the machine is from around that time too.
Photo quality is fairly poor....grrr phone cameras, hopefully I'll get some better photos to post in Billy's machine thread that will be much clearer but for now hope these will help. Oh, my machine is a Beale which was an Australian company who made sewing machines and pianos, Beale worked in conjunction with Hugo Wertheim.

Nancy (BoJangles) I owe you an apology because some weeks ago you asked me to post a photo of the machines covers I made and while I took a photo, I didn't get time to post it then completely forgot until I just looked for the HC photo for Jan.
Each one of my Janome's has it's own cover made from pre-quilted calico (muslin) which I embroidered with some grub roses and a monogram (both freebie designs).
The Brother shortarm quilter has a small quilt as a fitted cover would have been too time consuming to fit around the Handi Handles etc on the frame.
While I'm at it, here's a photo of the old spools of Sylko thread I was given via Freecycle recently, then I bought a shadow box frame to keep them dust free. These sit on a long hall table with two primitive style rag dolls and the Beale HC.
