Default Eldredge Improved B

Love this forum! I brought this Eldredge B Improved machine and cabinet home in pieces. Took some time to clean it up and put it back together. I am stumped about the cabinet. I have looked at hundreds of treadle cabinets, and have yet to find one with a hinged door that covers the drawers. The handle on the drawer looks to like ones I have noticed on other treadle cabinets, but those have metal backings on them. There is another grouping of drawers on the right side, but they are not attached at this time because I am working on restoring the applique and making a mold. I am hoping someone has ideas about the cabinet.

It takes some time to get used to posting pictures on this site. There are several help postings, here's one of them
Including Images and Attachments (as of 24 Jan 2020)

I also like OurWorkbench's directions, here's one copy:

It took me like a year before I could post, for me it was that the file size from my old digital camera was too big... I have to reduce the file size and I use this site (no affiliations) although there are now subscription options, I've always used it for free
https://www.reduceimages.com/

The other thing to be aware of is the interface, a couple of years ago it changed formats and now the upload button is to the far right and you don't see it in the attachment window unless you stretch it out!

I was able to unzip your pictures and have included them in this post.

Carolyn, I haven't noticed anyone here who was actively working on cabinets. Although I don't post there much anymore, you might get more help on VSS. They have an more active group of sewing machine "nuts".

Thank you for the tip! I'll try that! Have looked at SO many cabinets, but have yet to see one like this one.
