white family rotary treadle 1906
New to this forum. I have this one and a fw. I really enjoy the older machines. I have cleaned and oiled every place I can find. The mechanism moves freely. I would like a manual and any suggestions for other trouble areas I should look for. Thanks.

Welcome! I am occasionally on here, and thus still "new." haha. Ismacs has a free manual http://www.ismacs.net/white/manuals/white-rotary.pdf for download. I have only owned one Whie machine and I'm not familiar with them. "Captain Dick" Whiteman of TreadleOn said that the White Rotary is dandy for treadling, though.

I can see why he thinks it is a dandy for treadling - they turn very freely - well machined when they manufactured
I had the hardest time getting used to the bobbin case - I'm thinking there should be a tutorial on here somewhere Bennett maybe did one up.
