will a singer treadle work "backwards" ?
I bought a Wheeler Wilson #9 off ebay. It had a busted electric motor (so it went cheap) and I didn't care as I intend to put it in a treadle cabinet.
However, much to my surprise, it runs "backwards" compared to my Singers. I was going to put it in a parlor cabinet I already have - Can I do this - or is the treadle mechanism balanced so it won't run that direction? I don't have the treadle part put together in that cabinet to try it, and don't want to mess with the cabinets with machines in them.
Thanks
