Does anyone know how I met thread the machine. I have never used a Treadle. It is odd to me. Here is a picture of the machine if it helps.[ATTACH=CONFIG]411677[/ATTACH]

OK new issue. I took the bobbin threader off to clean it better as it was really dirty. I also took the little arm that moves the thread back and forth off. After putting it back on the arm will move as far out as it ijs supposed to, but when it needs to strart going back to the right it doesn't. It doesn't spring back into place like it used to. Anyone know why?
Definitely a National; looks like a model VB-TT(4). Probably somewhere in 1890 to early 1900's. I'll see if I can find my list of badged names.

My list of badged names says Davis and Free, but this is definitely a National.
