Thanks Ken & Heresolong ¡ª your input was very helpful. I knew not to look for grub screws, and indeed there were none. And I knew not to bother past taking the drawers out :-)
seller helped me lift it out the bulkhead, which was the hardest part. Had help on the other end to get it into the house, no sweat ?In looking over the base I see little clips to stabilize the wooden parts so I can see how it could be destabilized by taking it apart and I¡¯m glad I didn¡¯t try ?
The head (D-9) has a serial in the high 2 millions, 2804860, so I¡¯m thinking 1903-ish? ?As soon as I can clear some time to really go over it, I¡¯ll post some pics. ?For the moment I just gave it some pats and a little oil at the pivot points of the treadle (which moves but creakily), to start them thinking about moving freely. ?
