I want to get it refurbished so I can learn to use it, but I am at a loss as to how to find someone who works on treadle machines. Even my internet searches haven't been helpful. Do you have any leads?

I took all my lemons, peels and all, cut them in half put them in my Vitamix. Pluverized them and then froze in ice cube trays. The best lemonade ever! Look into it Bonnie. My Oster was fine---but the Vitamix is unbelievable.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160457872569395644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-2820344084276129952009-06-13T13:36:22.654-04:002009-06-13T13:36:22.654-04:00My sister has our mother's treadle machine.

I dont have any idea if it can be rescued or not. Mom got it in the 30's and it was pretty old then. I learned how to sew on it as a teenager and sewed a lot of my clothes. It is so sad. I really hate for her to throw it away. Don't think Sis wants to invest a lot of money in it though. She lives in East TN if anyone knows someone who can do this kind of restoration work. Have a nice time watching movies and eating Chinese!Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553254043644735815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-18468081361990914552009-06-13T07:09:21.561-04:002009-06-13T07:09:21.561-04:00I wish I live in the same country, then I'll d...I wish I live in the same country, then I'll drive all the way to get this machine!

I freeze fruit and use that instead of ice. And, the vitamix comes with a wood stomper that is just the right length to not get chewed up. <br />Oh, that treadle is pretty...I wish I could do that!<br />Lucy (in IN)qltmom9https://www.blogger.com/profile/00891119764581754368noreply@blogger.com
