Where are you located? There is a group, treadle-on, hosted on Quiltropolis (or go to www.treadleon.net and cruise around) that is all about fixing and using these old machines. There are over 1000 people on that list, and we all have antique sewing machine problems (read large collections.....). Some of my best ones I've gotten for free, some I've paid good money for. Keep looking and pay attention at yard sales and flea markets. And, if you are in my area, you can see my collection and maybe persuade me to part with a machine head or hand crank machine (but I'm not sure any of my treadles can leave and I just bought another one, damn it, once I pick that one up I'll have 8 working treadles in the house..... plus around 30+ electric or hand crank heads .....) *Sigh* -Megan
