I have that same box on the side of my 1926 Singer 99-13. The manual tells me to "grease the control mechanism" but I can't figure out what that is, and the internet has been no help! See my original thread here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...r-t225570.html

Exactly my same experience with my 1939 FW. Plugging it in was fine as the wires were great after I replaced some, but when I went to pull the original plug out, wires inside the plug must have touched, blue sparks shooted out of the socket and scared the absolute crap out of me. I ran and shut the breaker off. Lesson learned, now I only plug into an external circuit breaker extension cord if there is any doubt.
