if you ladies restore these machines. where do you get the decals, and who paints them for you? i can see doing the cabinet of a treadle myself, but not the rest of it. like the head, and the paint job, and the decals. does someone make them? or do you buy them?

We clean with sewing machine oil, and use carefully and with respect for their age. There are folks who have machines professionally painted (Usually automotive paint shops) or just do it themselves.

New addition of Free Westinghouse
Meet Austin Farrell my new addition to the collection. Had my daughters drive from Houston to Austin in the poring rain today to pick up this beautiful machine! You see, I live in Florida and packing to move to New Orleans. [ATTACH=CONFIG]514428[/ATTACH]

sorta, This is one of the Americans where they use a pointy shuttle and round bobbin (TINY round bobbin)
I have a #1 which was for family use, but this #2 is supposed to be for "light industrial" and leather

Steve, that is a remarkable machine. I hope what you see is the shuttle! I suspect those would be very difficult, if not impossible to find, and very dear pricewise if you did find one!
Congratulations on it!
