Haha, want another? I've been trying to get rid of an older "White" electric
for some time and don't seem to be in a good area for it.

Subject: RE: [h-cost] Hand crank, treadle machines--where to look; what to
pay?
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*

Can you still find any for a reasonable price, or are reproductions
being made? Or should I get a Tardis and go back to 1975 and snatch my
grandmother's?
