Very unusual looking machine!
I was unable to find the original post. Sorry.

I have a machine with this same foot pedal. I wanted to rewire it, but it was a real pain to get to the connections, so I retaped the bad spot. And then the outlet that the motor and pedal plug into was also inaccessable! I would have had to break it, so left it alone. It's the cord from the motor to the outlet that is in bad shape with multiple taping. I have plugged it in and it runs sewww quietly!! The machines are totally different (mine and the pictured one.) This is a beauty!!
