To get the slide plate off. Use something wooden to pry between the slide plates. Then take an old wooden spool and put it on the edge and bang on it with a hammer. Then turn the machine around and get the other one off the same way.

Well, it's been a year since I fixed up this machine and guess what? I finally found the lost presser foot! It was wedged right between the seat cushion and arm of my rocking chair - I was sitting on it today and just happened to look down, and there it was. I can't believe I didn't find it during my initial search; I felt down the sides and back of a couch and chair on the other side of the room, but never looked here.
