Re: Membership request
I hope this reply goes to all, Such a treat to meet others who share an interest in these wonderful timeless sewing machines. I'll be reading what I can find on the D9/W9 here and elsewhere as well.

Re: Membership request
Welcome to the group -- glad to hear you're enjoying your #9. I tend to do more tinkering than sewing as well. Your spring: I was looking for something else in the group archives recently and came

Re: Membership request
Welcome. One of my current sayings is that if I collected only one brand of machine, it would be Wheeler & Wilson.? They seem to be fabulously made. My 9W was bought on that huge online auction site

Hi Paul, Not a ? Or comment on the winder, but I did notice your bobbin appears to be different from my machine, or is it the angel of the photo? My bobbins are bagel shaped. Just curiosity mainly!

Reversing the bobbin winder on a #9
My #9 (1889 or so) came to me with a treadle from which the pedal, the pitman, and the band wheel had all been removed. I used to wonder why, until I noticed the three clearly non-factory holes in the

Re: Treadle drop leaf question
This is a photo of the pre-work I did on mine. It came without the drawers. The photo is before I took off the plate that held the drawers. The steel bar is shown in the extended position. It rides in

Re: Treadle drop leaf question
I have had a WW9 since 2014 but didn¡¯t have the bar. I just looked at mine and it has that little wedge of wood on the bottom side of the drop leaf. Thanks for solving that mystery!! Jan Smith Sent:

Treadle drop leaf question
I recently got a Wheeler & Wilson treadle table with a drop leaf on the left end. It looks as if the support for the leaf should be a bar of some sort that slides out from a gap above the drawers just
