Hi, there--I saw your post on TreadleOn. This is a lovely machine, you are one lucky person. Most of these old machines just need a good cleaning and oiling. I restored my mother-in-laws treadle and it got me hooked on the older machines.
Congratulations on your Davis Verical Feed. Of all my machines, older and new, this is the very last one I would part with. Just clean her up and I bet you have a great machine in no time. Replacement bands are common, so that is not a worry at all. Your attachments look to be in great shape! Mine were rusty and I only got them to a certain point with Rust remover from the auto parts store. Very good choice.

Hang onto that coil treadle belt. They are hard to find and nice to have. Beautiful machine!
