I just bought a 1951 (I think) 301 in the original # 42 cabinet (one owner). It has not been cleaned and oiled for sometime, I'm sure. How do I get the adaptor (with cross bars like an X) off to be able to remove the bottom drip pan to clean, oil & lube inside? I already smashed a finger just tilting it back to look & learned a good lesson there. I'm almost afraid to tackle it, but I've learned a lot doing things myself on my multitude of machines. I know I can do it with a little help from you gurus on the QB! I also want to be able to date it and find a cord and manual for it.

Thanks from Tennessee

The machine just snaps in and out of the table. Maybe it's stuck? You should be able to just pull on the handle of the machine to pop it out of the holder.

On mine, there's a lever on the left side of the bracket, push it to the left and downward, then the machine should be able to lift up, and will likely pivot a little to the right a little as it rises (there are pins on the right it will tilt off of.)
