It had a standard extension cord from that to bring the electricity to the machine.
Boy that is not very clear. I will try and take some pictures tonight of the underside wiring. I plan on treadling mine.

Doug good luck on the surgery. I will keep you in my prayers.

Billy, your machine is beautiful! I hope I can find one of those 'red eyes' someday!
I just got done painting and cleaning out the office. I had to make a place for my new treadle -- it won't fit in my sewing room!
Any ideas on restoring the cabinet. The veneer is warped on the top -- probably from having a plant sitting on it!

Posting pictures- Here she is treadle cabinet 5 red eye Singer 66 from 1914 Can't wait for her belt to come in. We did not deep clean her as she was in very good shape. Also it looks like there was no wear and tear on the inner parts and they were all pretty thight.
cabinet no. 5 DH made skits for it to stand on so it would not scratch the floor.

Up close and personal Red Eye 66

Originally was a high shaft but DH changed it with a low shaft from a red eye 1916

DH added about 2 inches right next to the center drawer so as to increase the foot treadle space. I am pretty tall as is he.

Attached are some pics of machine for sale that's a couple of hours away. I can see that it is a new home according to the writing under the large lettering on the machine, however I can't quite make out the name due to the glare on the photo. It looks like ABSTBRO something something. Does anyone know about this New Home badge?

Billy, I tried to find a place to ask a question on the antiques roadshow site but found nothing. Musta been having a blonde moment. I'd still like to have an idea of the worth of the Diamond made in occupied japan. Can you guide me to the correct place on that site to ask? Thanks.
Wow, all the beautiful machines on this forem. I need a bigger house.....
