I recently saw a treadle machine in use and remembered using one in 7th grade; suddenly had a need for one. I received one as a b-day gift and purchased another I saw listed on Craigslist. Both needed the leather belt which my LQS had in stock for @ $11. Took both in and had them cleaned and oiled. Ismacs has a database listing where you can find when your machine(s) were manufactured. I hope you are pleasantly surprised at how popular they are.
