    I just received my Grandmothers Singer Treadle. The owners manual says it is a 15-88 or 15-89. It is filthy as my sister had it for many years and stored it in the barn "shame on her". So I have a lot of work cut out for me. The cabinet itself is in pretty good shape but the machine is frozen up. 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?

    Welcome to the board from Southern California!

    Can you post a picture of the machine for those that are in "the know" to be able to help you?

    Welcome from NE Ohio!
    Would love to see a picture of the old treadle.
    They do come back to life no matter how bad they seem.
    Good luck.
