I had a terrible time finding any information on this model- probably the same problem you're having. But it is a beautiful machine!Judy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-17946256432922671032014-01-13T06:53:33.519-06:002014-01-13T06:53:33.519-06:00Hi, I stumbled upon your blog as I'm looking f...Hi, I stumbled upon your blog as I'm looking for info on Damascus treadle machines. Do you use and like yours? The only info I could find so far was for Damascus vibrating shuttle machines. Yours, you state is rotary. The one I'm looking at also has the tension dial on the front, so I'm thinking it's like yours....

Do you use and like yours? The one I'm looking at also has the tension dial in the front like yours. Some info I found on Damascus machines are the vibrating shuttle machines and the tension dial is on the left side, on the face plate. So I thought the one I'm looking at is probably similar to yours...UrbanRecyclist Micki Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15031477249140126474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-86000021150150067622013-02-06T14:53:18.796-06:002013-02-06T14:53:18.796-06:00I have bought a top like the one you have, does no...I have bought a top like the one you have, does not have legs etc. It has a wooden plate that the sewing head sets in and the whole plate dropw down by a cable when the lid is closed.

The grandson had refinished the cabinet and cleaned it up and it even had the manual in the drawer along with a bunch of other stuff, the only bad part is that the stand is broken. We have it but we haven't found anyone to do the metalsmithing necessary to repair it since the ironwork is a specialty not found in the suburbs LOL, we'll keep toting it around until we find someone!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-77510945079161496652012-08-21T20:52:28.430-05:002012-08-21T20:52:28.430-05:00Isn't it!!
