I will start this blog with the oldest machine I have worked on. This is an Aldens treadle. I spent hours on cleaning and adjusting this "vibrating shuttle" machine. Wow, this was the strangest bobbin I have ever seen.
I then spent hours stripping and refinishing (tongue Oil) this entire cabinet. Restoration Video Here

Here is a closer look at the machine. It sews great and it looks great. It was sold for $149.00 to a collector in Northern Indiana.
A closer look, and ahhh, by the way, it takes some practice to do the treadle thing and feed fabric at the same time. At least for me!
