Let this unholy union be last of my tampering and collecting. Or so we'll see...
This is utterly bizarre, zig zagging on a treadle. It works very well! A treadle machine capable of zig zag stitching, cam-able and reversible and drop feed. Utterly bizarre.

Hide-A-Cam. Twist top and small plastic cam.

I like it!. That one had me fooled. I didn't know it took cams too. Buy another lift assist from a parted out treadle and paint it to match your machine. Your machine will look like it's always been there.

Looks good. There are several zigzag machines that can be treadled. A favorite I've seen online many times is the Singer 237, which will be much more common in the U.S. than the 226. Once I get moved I plan on seeing which of my vintage Brother machines will treadle well.
