There is tape on the Treadle Stand so I have a feeling it is cracked or broken. i have tri flow and pb buster do you think it is safe to use the pb blaster to get things moving again?

Take a look at ther thread - Vintage sewing machine shop - You will find lots of information about vintage machines. And there are tutorials on how to clean up your machine and get her running again. (I have seen tri-flow mentioned, but not pb blaster...)

I'm glad you joined us. Hi from Nebraska! :D

There is a treadle group on the web devoted to helping people bring these wonderful machines back to life, treadle on. Have you tried them for advice?
