White Family Rotary
I'm tickled pink that after several years of missing having a treadle, I found a 1917 White Rotary treadle in a mission-style cabinet. It looks as though it was rarely used. It needs a cleaning, oiling, and new belt, which I've ordered.
I've found a little information about the machine, but wondered if the experts here have any insights from their experience. It's very different from my Singer Red Eye I let go.

Nice looking machine and cabinet. It looks like you may have a manual.
There are a lot of threads here on QB about the White Rotary some are electric. I did a post at Need help! White Rotary doesn't pick up lower thread that has a lot of links and info regarding White rotary machines. It looks like I didn't include another good one at Directions for loading a White rotary bobbin (White Family Rotary, etc.)

Looking for a manual
I received a White Dressmaster E-6354 605-19559 machine. It has a knee pedal rather than a foot pedal. Any suggestions on how to obtain a manual? I’m new to this forum and I haven’t figured out how to upload photos, yet! The machine is green.
