Oh, believe me--I have some real dogs. This one didn't look so great before it's spiff and polish.

Do you have any info on my machine Billy? It is a SERATA serial #640765. It is a vibrating shuttle and the manufacturer is the Robert Nelson & Co. I would like to find out how old it is. The wood case is absolutly beautiful and the decals are in pretty good shape.

Its going to be a badged machine and I am going to have to dig in my PL and see what I have to be able to decipher the manufacturer.

Glenn I have been watching E-bay for the 127x1 for my W&W and 9W machines and the Boye 10 for my Davis machine. I have been able to accumulate quite a stash that way. I just watch and when they are under $10 I buy them one tube at a time.

Billy, can I make a 66-6 (belt driven motor, not a spoked handwheel) into a treadle machine head? The handwheel is solid, but it does take the belt off the motor. So, just take off the electric gagets and put the treadle belt on it in place of where the electric one goes now? Seems too simple, what am I missing.... ?
If you recall from all that note taking and reading of this thread, Purplefiend (Sharon) and I have Singers with solid wheels in treadles. Sharon has her Singer 237 (link to a 237 http://reocities.com/Heartland/estat...g_sing237.html) and I have my 201.

I got my idea to use my 201 this way from Sharon's posts. I would just try it out to see if it works. That is what I did. Best idea, that and Sharon's suggestion of dental floss to hold treadle belt instead of the staple. Thank you Sharon!

I love the lion on that machine! I wish I could help you but I have looked and can't find anything more than you did. Billy/Miz Johnny what do you guys know? I am curious too.
