I removed old, dried masking tape from the machine bed itself on a treadle 66 machine without any damage. Although I haven't had to remove dried tape from a wood cabinet I would try the same procedure since I haven't noticed any adverse affects of sewing machine oil on the cabinet wood. I soaked the tape with sewing machine oil and let it sit. Once the oil softened the tape I was able to scrape gently with my fingernail to remove all of the paper and goo. It did not harm the machine finish at all. I don't remember how long I soaked it but I wouldn't be surprised if I left the oil on it several days and worked on removing the tape slowly over several days of applying additional oil.
