Wertheim - Baer & Rempel "Phoenix" antique treadle sewing machine BEFORE PHOTOS
I don't know how I managed to buy another sewing machine. this one was $60, probably too much for the state it is in.
this would have been quite a beautiful piece when it was new (it has a few parts where the origianl gold scroll work is visible and the decorate inlays in the table are nice)
I finally got this thing ticking over....took me about 4 hours. it spins well and sounds ace...

Hi! I think my machine is phoenix M, but I'm not 100% do you know anything about threading the bobbincase on these machines? I'm desperate to get my machine going :-)

I have a Phoenix M, and wonder if you could post or email me a photo of the back (right side if you are facing the front of the machine) of the tension assembly. I need to see detail to figure out if a piece if missing on mine.
