I went back to the yard sale and offered the young girl seller some cash if she would look for the foot pedal cord. She said when she went home she would look for it (sale at her grandma's). I then looked around at other sale items and in a bag of craft stuff discovered the foot pedal and cord!! Now I have this nice little machine to use for my granddaughter. It sews nicely. It is quite heavy. There was nothing about this machine on the internet, must not have sold many. I think it was from the early 1980's.
