Re: Reversing the bobbin winder on a #9
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

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.

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!!

Mine slides in more than an inch.? Looks to be the same type of bar as on Enid's cabinet.

Re: Treadle drop leaf question
Hi Paul, my leaf is held up by a metal bar, not much play between the slot sides. It sticks out only about 1¡± into the cavity. I will try to take a photo and send. Not very tech savvy.

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

Re: Introduction
Thanks for the video link, very enjoyable to see one working.
The evolution of the WW3 through to the WW8 and then the WW9 is quite
