Franklin Treadle Machine - Review and Test
Why can't I find one that looks like my Franklin Rotory with knee pedal and spindle legs with a phinial centered atop )( shaped leg supports?
Sounds pretty rare
@@NeverTooMany2023 Brass plate stamped 23x7501 I wonder if it's a Franklin " table top" mounted in another's parlor cabinet.
Yes and the case to the 401A is actually a bent wood case; it's just the bend is in the opposite direction compared to the older bentwood cases, Also the wood is covered. As a kid back in the 60s, I noticed singer tried to give the interior of the case a plasticized look by have white speckling uniformly applied to the wood. The case design while novel and interesting actually sucked, unlike the rest of the machine.
All good info. Thanks for sharing!
Whatever floats your boat, ha-ha.
Lol. Right? :)
💞💞 Love sewing machines ... only have 2 vintage though at the moment.. finally getting back into sewing.. luv it.. this is my find for free give away a couple of years .. ago had to get the spool holder replaced was made of plastic.. but all other parts are solid. made in Japan.. it says. Simpson's. Fooling around with it.. just wish i could find a manual for it.. for extra tips....wish I could post a pic of it !!
That's great. Glad that you are getting back into sewing. I am sure you will have many more vintage machines in your future :) Thanks for watching!
“La vencedora” means “the conqueror” in Spanish. 😇
Awesome thanks!
Press sideways on the needle bar on the 750 when changing the upper plastic wheels for stitch and width, it does make it easier since your not fighting the needle bar return spring.. My 631 had a flush button on the needle bar cover to make changes to the setting easy. In the UK I have two 760G machines one has an internal worm drive for the motor the other is an internal belt drive. I have had to make a few interesting fixes for plastic parts splitting on the under bed bobbin winder cam and the stitch selector plastic part on a splined shaft. My 760g machines are different under the top cover, I was surprised I guess made in Germany would be the reason The interesting thing about my three machines they can be converted to do Chain Stitch. All the best
Great tip. Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
WOW, what a find! I just bought one of these with a cabinet and all it's accessories at an estate sale this weekend and it doesn't sound nearly as smooth as this. I just gave it to my local shop for servicing and am so excited to get it back and start making things! Love the 400 series. I snagged a 404 straight stitch machine for $60 two years ago and it's been great for quilting. This one will really broaden what I can create, since it can finish seams.
That's great! I am sure all she needed was a little cleaning and lubrication. You will love using this machine for sure. It is a lot fun :) Thanks for watching!
Watching your channel makes my nerdy heart happy. I love your scientific terminology, “doodads,” too. In HS Home Ec class in the 1970s, we sewed with very sturdy Viking machines. I don’t know if they had zigzag, but I only used them for straight stitching back in the day.
Thank you so much! We are glad that you enjoy our content. Thanks for watching :)
Hello. I have the same setup but the screws holding the machine to the cabinet were missing. Do you happen to know the size? Regards.
I am sorry, no I do not know that info.
I learned to sew as a little girl on my Mom’s Pfaff 230. In 1987 she traded it in for a new Pfaff Creative 14?? Top of the line latest technology computerized machine. It’s no longer around because of outdated technology. I have a Pfaff Tiptronic 1171 that’s been my go to for the last 35 years. I sure would like to have another Pfaff 230 though. One day…. I’m enjoying your videos & love seeing all the machine you’re collecting.
The Pfaff 230 will forever be one of my favorite machines. If you ever get the chance to get another one I would jump at the opportunity. How lucky to have learned to sew, as a child, on such an awesome and powerful machine. We recently picked up a Tiptronic from a thrift store as well. It is really nice to use and super well built. Thanks again for watching!
I watched all 3 videos of your videos. My Dressmaker machine has had the needle stuck in the left position since I got it & makes sewing challenging. I got the screwdriver and oil today and went to work, hey, the needle now lives in the center position where I like it. The person I got it from told me it had been serviced recently, I discovered it had not. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it’s appreciated very much.
That's great. Good work on your machine. They just usually need a little love and attention to be brought back to life. Thanks for watching our content. We appreciate it :)
This is the second time I’ve seen the shoe machine like this, not in person, though I wish I had one
Ya, we were lucky to find it when we did. It is a great machine and a lot of fun to use :) Thanks for watching!
Sai molto bravo
Thank you so much. Thank you for watching!
As an aside, would you like a circa 1966 T&S 626 to show the transition? It's still geared, but they are nylon.
That would be really cool to have the middle machine to show the transition. You can email us at nevertoomanyinfo@gmail.com with more details. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I’m enjoying learning what to look for. I just purchased a Singer Touch & Sew Model 629. It has plastic gears but was working beautifully and then… the bobbin case stopped turning & my fun was over. I’m considering donating it back to the thrift shop. Or should I have a technician look at and/or fix the bobbin case? I’d like your opinion. Again, thank you
That is no good. Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your machine. I love all machines and believe they all have a home and a future, but then again, I really enjoy tearing them down and figuring out the issues with them. If you are able to get a free and / or cheap quote on the needed repairs, then I would try that. It could be something simple or something catastrophic. If you have to spend more than about 50 dollars to get it fixed, then it is a parts machine in my opinion. Touch & Sew machines work as well as anything out there if well maintained and properly tuned. If it doesn't work out for you, don't worry...there are plenty of awesome machines out there with your name on them :) Good luck!
@@NeverTooMany2023 thank you for your knowledge & expertise. I have to travel to another town for sewing machine service & they start at more than $50 so back to the thrift shop you go! You’re right there are really nice machines out there =) and I’ll be looking.
I have a Dressmaker Deluxe machine model #SAM-3B, from the 1960’s. It has a Dynamic 1.0 amp motor. I bought it from the original owners daughter who couldn’t give an exact year but remembers it was the 1960’s when it came home. It was made in Japan and from what I’ve read it’s a Singer knock off.
That's great! All good info. Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
Where do you get the stool at your work station? Looks comfortable.
Thank you for the question. If you are referring to the blue stool in the first room, it is actually a drum throne. I got it online at The Guitar Center. Here is the link: www.guitarcenter.com/ROC-N-SOC/Original-Saddle-Drum-Throne-Blue-1500000149937.gc
@@NeverTooMany2023 thanks I ordered myself one =)
@@janhunnicutt8648 That's great! I love mine. Good luck :)
Also your cabinets are beautiful!
Thank you so much! Ya, we have been very fortunate to come across so many beautiful pieces. Thanks!
I bet he came home with a sewing machine!
Lol. 3 actually :)
I buy 750s for cheap at the second hand shops. They're usually in a basement-musty cabinet. The cabinet drawers are usually stuffed with other items, like stitch cams, slant-particular attachments/presser feet,scissors, etc. I pull parts and the motors out of them for other slant needle bar Singer projects. Like the host said, 750's were a disposable machine design. I burn the cabinets in my backyard barrel. GOOD VIDEO for the uninitiated. Good Video.
Thank you so much! That is a great idea. There are plenty of great parts on the 750s that will work elsewhere, including other 750s :) Ya, there is nothing better than getting an old machine in a cabinet that is full of doo-dads. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!
Where did you get your work tables?
They are Husky brand toolboxes and tables from The Home Depot. Thanks for watching!
Nice..!! I can relate,. I now have 23 machines. "how did that happen, LOL"...Love restoring the oldies.
Lol... Ya, it just kinda happens :) I think at last count we have 65. There are just soooo many different models out there that need a home. It would be irresponsible of us to leave them out in the "wild" :) Thanks for watching and happy hunting!
Thank Y'all! Have a wonderful JESUS CHRIST 🙏 🙏 🙏 year.
Thank you for watching, and have a wonderful year as well :)
OK… deep breath… I’m imagining running my sharp needle through PAPER… PAPER NONETHELESS! Now I’m stepping back and attempting to open my mind some more… What in the name of all things Singer and holy!?! 😂😅😂
Lol. Ya, it seems a bit strange but it is really pretty fun. Thanks for watching.
Yes, several technicians refer to them as a "Touch & Throw"
Lol. Sounds about right :) Thanks for watching!
Great collection. I am wondering where you are located to have such nice thrift stores.
Thank you so much! Ya, we are very lucky to live near so many great thrift stores. We live in the Treasure Valley of south west Idaho, outside of Boise. Thanks for watching!
I am picking up this model machine today and really enjoyed your video. This was the machine my mother sewed clothes for me and my 4 sisters. My grand niece has been using it now and I wanted one for my non-profit sewing studio. My parents gave me a Bernina 830 Record for my college graduation present and it was put into use when I retired from federal service about 4 years ago. I now have 3 more 830 Records and 2 930 Records for the studio but I can't wait to add the 401A to my stable of machines. Thank you for sharing your skill and wisdom. I love it when I learn new things. I replaced a blown capacitor in one of my 930s. I was a branch chief for Information Technology-Hardware and Network and retired. I don't want anything to do with computers now. I just want to play with all mechanical machines.
Thank you so much for the comments. That is great that you are getting a new machine. I am sure you will love it! Super jealous of your Bernina Record machines. Those are on our wish list for sure. Lol...Me having skill and wisdom may be a stretch, though I appreciate the sentiment :) After a career in tech I don't blame you for wanting to relax with some good old mechanical machines. So much fun. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful block and sound of that vintage machine. I've only done FPP once, and was too intricate. This pattern looks like fun.
Thank you so much! Ya, FPP is pretty tedious but really rewarding when you finally finish :) Definitely love the pattern as well. Thanks for watching!
You two ! This is so fun to watch, very inspiring !
Lol. Thank you so much! Happy to inspire :) Thanks for watching!
Cute video. I love to paper piece as well but on different vintage machines. Happy sewing.
Thank you so much! Ya, paper piecing is super fun and rewarding. Gotta keep these old machines busy :) Thanks for watching!
That was a pretty cool video!
Thank you so much. We had fun making it. Thanks for watching!
Nice maxhine
Thanks! We have had a lot of fun playing with it. We are lucky to have inherited this one. :) Thanks for watching!
You want portable try the vintage elna lotus
Definitely on our bucket list. Awesome little machines. Thanks for sharing!

Great video! Thanks. Just curious - are you planning to restore the 750? If so, to what extent?
Thank you so much! For sure I will be restoring the 750. Actually, both of these machines were handed down to us from Grandmothers from different sides of our family. The 750 is really clean and has little use on it. It will come around pretty nicely. I will need to pull it apart, replace the drive belt, replace all of the plastic gears on the bottom, give it a good cleaning, reassemble, and re-time. I am sure it will work well for many years to come :) Thanks for watching!
Your wife needs a Singer 99. The 201 is the best. The very best.
I couldn't agree more :) Thanks for watching!
I love!! My Singer Touch & Sew!!
Ditto!! I just love the wind-in-place bobbin feature. It is the easiest bobbin winder that I have used :) So many people love their Touch & Sew machines. I just love them all. Thanks for watching!
Just got one, cant wait for it to arrive. Of course then it has to go off for service and cleaning.
That is great! I am sure you will LOVE your new machine. This is definitely my go-to vintage machine for quilting and piecing. Enjoy! Thanks for watching.
@@NeverTooMany2023 actually I'm hoping it will be able to handle some upholstery tasks, and repairing horse blankets. My Pfaff Tippmatic just feels too light.
@@greglutz7693 Sounds like fun. Good luck!
That's Grandma's machine!!❤
It sure is! Thank you so much for handing it down to us. We are honored to have Grandma's machine. We got her all serviced up and just finished sewing her first donation quilt :)
Absolutely agree with everything you said about the 201 - it's just a beast. LOVE mine. Your collection is a lot like my own - and I'm honestly a bit jealous of your Lark - What a gem! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! Ya the 201 is simple perfection :) That is great that you have a similar collection. So much fun. The Lark is too cute for its own good...Lol. Thanks for watching!
I saw a post in market place today and thought of you amazing collection.
Lol. Thank you so much. Ya, I saw a facebook ad for a 603e in a cabinet in our local area today as well. They are definitely out there for the grabbing :) Thanks for watching!
I love my Pfaff 130. So sturdy, I can find replacement parts and videos showing how to do my own maintenance.
That is great! It is really hard to beat a Pfaff machine. We have them ranging from early to late models and we love them all. They are so well built and fun to use :) Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!
LOVE this video and the comparison! I have three 600s. One is frozen and two work. Still working on the frozen one. But it will work eventually. That is what I really love about the old mechanical metal gears.
Thank you so much! Ya, the 600's were the end of a great era for Singer machines. Good luck with your frozen machine. I am sure you will have it up and running in no time :) Thank you for watching!
I have one of these 603e, I have yet to fix it up, but I did look inside to make sure it had all metal gears because I was told that somewhere in the production of the 603 they switched to a plastic gear. It's changeable but at some point they supposedly switched late in the production. I'm not 100% on that. That was just something that I was told
Lol. That is great. Once you get yours fixed up I am sure you will love it :)
Singer quality from my understanding, started dropping in the '60s and just continued to decline. Once I started introducing plastic they just didn't stop. They just kept on it till now that they have basically full plastic machines. I don't even know why people put up with it that they do
Sounds about right. It is sad to see as the early years of Singer machines were built so very nice. Thanks for watching!
It’s always worth opening them up and checking out the gears inside. I’ve found all metal gears in models up to 645. I believe that there were several years when machines sold to schools for home ec classes had metal gears and the machines sold to the public had plastic.
That is very interesting. Also checks out with a lot of comments we have received about folks using them in their home ec classes back in the 60s and 70s. Thanks for the input and thank you for watching!
I thought I recognized you and your voice from your other channel. It took me quite a while to figure it out! You put out some good content! I'm not into your other hobby, but since it is mechanical I do enjoy watching. I've loved mechanical things forever I guess. I used to run the old german printing presses, those were a lot of fun! Everything moving this way and that, an engineering marvel. Cheers!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! Ya, mechanical engineering in any form is highly interesting. Sewing machines are marvels for sure. Imagine being the first person to figure out all the engineering for a modern sewing machine. German printing presses sound like a lot of fun. I bet you enjoyed that time. Thanks for the input and thank you for watching!
Thanks for the information.
You are very welcome :) Hope it helps, if at all. Thanks for watching!
