Odd treadle cover on old Singer (15-90?)
I believe I have a Singer 15-88 that is "treadle ready" but has the potted "built on" motor installed.
According to her serial number she was born in 1930 and she is installed in a cabinet with a treadle that has SINGER in the middle of it, with the pitman arm attached to an electric box. Her cabinet has fittings for the treadle, including the spoke wheel, the only thing i think i need is the little dog leg that attaches the pitman arm to the treadle wheel, which sadly i cannot find. It has a bizarre sort of "sheet metal" cover over the treadle wheel, making it so i cannot access it directly and despite exhaustive searching I am not having much luck with finding this feature on other people's machines. Is this something anyone else has encountered? I believe i need to remove this to convert it back to treadle, but it seems mounted on in a complex way that is mysterious to me.
The manual in the cabinet is for a 15-91 but many of the features of the cabinet it's mounted in do not match with that description.
I'd love thoughts, ideas and experience if you've encountered this.
