I can't see the machine in the photo you didn't post. Without a couple of frontal views of the table, nobody can know what is missing. There are various levers, pedals and shafts involved in driving the flywheel. It may have been set up with a continuous run motor, or a clutch motor, or even a modern servo motor. Or, it may have been foot treadled. Here is a topic on our website that has several good photos showing the machine and table with the motor and control rods. Here is a video of a Campbell Randall Lockstitch sewing, including a view of the motor and linkage. Another page showing the motor and linkage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
