Model 66 Help
#1
I have a treadle Model 66 and I was using Billy's tutorial to disassemble it for cleaning.
For the life of me I can not get the thumb screw off to remove the presser foot lever. I have tried everything. Does anyone have any suggestions to get that thing to loosen.
Thanks
Denise

I was hoping, but I am ready to just put the thing up on CL. That darn screw is stuck.... I have actually dinged the screw trying to get it out. I am so over it!
Maybe a martini and some time away from her will give me a better attitude. Maybe she needs a martini to loosen her up! ;)

That is how the screw got nicked... my hubby had a towel over the screw and a pair of pliers... with me holding the machine.
It did move, but not enough to get it out.
Martinis are my friend. LOL

Thanks everyone... It sat for about 4 hours with WD- 40... before my hubby got to it. I think I am just going to get that screw out and try to replace it, as it is currently beat to heck.
Sigh, I just wanted to use my treadle....:( Hope she will be worth all of this hassle.
