Yeah, I'm gonna have the wiring looked at before I make any attempts to use it. It looks fine, but just to be sure...lol.

I had to add a foot pedal to mine for some reason it had been cut off.

Mine has the foot pedal, but it's attached to the side of the cabinet...

I just downloaded the manual...so now I'll clean it up and see if it works. If not, I can still use it in my sewing room for decoration.
This is amazing. I was just reading a your post, so I decided to check my serial number on my Singer 66. The serial# AL958286. We have sister machines, lol. I remember is was made in 1955 but did not remember the date. I just had it serviced last week. I bought it at a thrift store for $40. It came with a cabinet and sewing stool full of attachments. This baby is also heavy. I will post a picture when I put it back in the cabinet.
