It's not so much the sewing machine it's finding a place for the generator.

There was a guy on "The Collectors" show on ABC tonight that has hundreds of old sewing machines. An impressive display.
My mum taught me to use her industrial singer as a child but I haven't used one in over 20 years (and am happy to sew on buttons and badges by hand now)Terry B

We have two working treadlies here. They're not worth a lot, 'cos so many of 'em were made and they were made so well that they're practically bulletproof.
People are using 'em as side tables, though (we have the Janome on one of ours) and they're slowly disappearing as the woodwork falls apart through water/wine/coffee spills and general abuse. One day they'll be worth a pretty penny but not yet.
My Grandma also taught me to sew on one many. many moons ago.
