Cool machine. I love the big handwheel. The cabinet looks like it is in great condition too. Are you going to treadle or use the handcrank? Both? I can't make out the name of the machine. Great find though.

That is a real nice W&W 9. I'd go for it if I had any more room. I have a W&W 9 hand crank that is the nicest stitcher EVER.

Most all sewing repair shops carry those belts, as do most on-line sewing stores. Just put the belt around the treadle wheel, around your hand wheel slot, cut one end of the leather off where the two ends meet, now sew/connect together. Don't put the belt too tight, but if you find it is too lose when you start to treadle, just cut and re-sew a second time.

The vast majority of treadles use a belt that is a bit less than 72", but not my Pfaff treadle; its in an idustrial treadle stand. It needs about 80" if I recall correctly.

Cathy, I have always said that the Wheeler and Wilson's are the aristocrates of the sewing machine world! But, Steve, remember that on a W&W the hand wheel turns the opposite way of the Singer (and most vintage machines) wheel!
