I'd love an English one! If nothing else because it'd be different. I don't want 3 exact versions of the same machine, so knowing this I'll look more at the English ones that are available. Thank you!?

A D8 would be wonderful, but the bobbin prices are insane.?

A friend of mine is a mechanical engineer. When my husband and I married he presented with a wedding gift of a completely restored a rusted and heavily water damaged 1927 White in a Martha Washington table. It's mint. He took every piece back to bare metal. Repainted. Replated. All new electrical. He's also a carpenter, so he restored the table, too. Nothing was done halfway. I wouldn't do this to a rare machine, but a White FR is pretty common. So maybe yours was once in the hands of someone like that??

Excellent tip. I pop a toothpick into each oil hole both to check for clogs and to keep any products I'm using from clogging them.?

Thank you for sharing your collection - it's beautiful! I'm trying to keep my machines in 2 rooms of our home. I currently have 4 treadles (3 with machines), 6 electrics in tables, 3 that need treadles, 1 handcrank, and 3 electrics in cases. The treadle without machine will be (gently) converted into a universal table for a variety of machines. That's the only way I can bring in more treadle machines without adding tables.?

At least, that's what I keep telling myself. ??

Btw, I have a friend who is trying to recreate the D9 bagel bobbin with her 3D printer. I know attempts have been made before, but results seem to be mediocre. I'm not a fan of non-metal bobbins, but as this bobbin case is fairly forgiving, I'll give it a workout to test it. If successful, she'll give away the 3D printer file.?

And if this all works, I'll invest in a D8 bobbin and see if she can take a crack at it.?
