I don't know what you mean by motor boss :D You mean, it has a motor, right?? hee hee
I want to keep it. I'm just getting into vintage machines and treadles are a way off for me :D
A place under the handwheel where the motor attaches. (On the oldest Red Eyes, there is no boss--it has to be used as a treadle.) A hand crank can be attached there and you have a HC machine--no need for the demon electricity.
