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

Hey Billy, where were you years ago when I plugged in that machine and sparks flew everywhere???? LOL No damage but to my nerves. Lesson learned quickly.
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.
