Except I don't have a cabinet with working treadle parts. Either the cabinet was destroyed and the treadle worked, or the cabinet was good but the treadle had been cut off! And the irons are too wide from the beat up cabinet to fit on the good one unless I move the drawers and other stuff like that. Haven't gotten that far yet! But no, the motor won't get in the way of treadling if it is in the swung away position, but it might get in the way of fabric. I do have a hand crank I can put on it, though. But it would be fun to find the other foot pedal parts and try to get them working.
