I love to watch those who-done-it television shows and movies, trying to figure out the solution to the mystery. The same thing goes for sewing machines where I'm trying to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. Sometimes there are secrets to discover and this post is about a sewing machine cabinet that has a secret and I'm on the hunt to find one!It all started with Judy who traveled down from the Fargo/Moorhead area to buy a Brother Select-O-Matic. She already had one and wanted mine to try and fix hers. But why was this machine so prized? I've had several of them and agree they are really nice but it was a very long drive to pick up this particular sewing machine. Judy had a cabinet that was very, very special:
Treadle/electric cabinet: Brother decal |
Door opens to reveal wheel, stores electric foot control, hinged treadle peddle |
Another version |
Right idea and in much better shape |
