Yes it is a Vibrating Shuttle and until you had an electrified 128 portable and spooled it up wide open you just do not know the true meaning of Vibrating Shuttle!! I chased that machine all over my bench in the shop is was vibrating so much. So if you have an electrified 128 or any VS machine run it at a slow pace!!

I forgot to add that I have a wonderful treadle cabinet and it would have been a home for my red eye except it belonged to my MIL and one of my DH's BIL's decided to put a different head in it and he must have had a severe dumb out because he totally butchered it beyond use. So now it sits with my hand crank on it. I'm hoping to run across either a whole cabinet or at least the porton of the top that needs replaced. Gives me something to hope for.

You can replace just the top of the cabinet if you find on that you like. It all screws together and they will all interchange.
