A question - one of the drawers in the treadle cabinet is locked and I can't get it open. Any suggestions?
My treadle has 6 drawers- 3 on each side, beautiful cabinet, rounded drawers. I have to reach up under on either side and push a rod that releases all 3 drawers. I suppose that was the way of 'child proofing' when this machine was made. I learned about the rod opening after a lot of %&*&%$^##@*&, LOL
Good luck opening yours!
