The treadle cabinet is so rare these days, that is an amazing find. The 411 that I remember was of a different shape, but no matter. One of the biggest markets for non electrical versions of any sewing machine was Nigeria, where rural parts of the country were not on the mains electrical supply. But this was over 50 years ago. The 411 that I speak of had to be fettled into a more basic treadle, but the result was the same. Instead of a treadle belt try using flat urethane belting. It can be joined by melting both ends over a flame then fuse the ends together.But my question is about treadling the 411g, more specifically about the hand wheel. Mine is the electric one, and I was wondering if you had any ideas on how to go about modifying the hand wheel?

Buy 50 and sell 40 on ebay in lots of 10.I have a 29k, an industrial boot patcher. Are the needle shanks the same as an ordinary household machine. Got the machine but no needles and my dealer won't get me less than 50. Booooooo! Be good if ordinary needles fit
Yes, when we visit Seattle I make a point of walking past that shop I don't know how to use one but I sure like looking at them.Downtown Seattle clothes store. The whole store front is this way.
