I would like to fix it up and get it running. My husband will help with the refinishing of the cabinet. It seems to me that the most obvious place to start would be a belt. Do you know what I should buy? I have seen them on E-Bay, but with different diameters and lengths. Also, does this model have a name?
Thanks so much!
This belt should work fine:

Sharon is right, take off the plate that is covering the feed dogs. It's either for a buttonholer or a picot hemstitcher. You're also going to want at least a standard straight stitch presser foot.
so that's what the little plate is!!! - *I have one here somewhere...
Nice machine! Too nice not to use.
*I need a button to push that says "I have one here somewhere"
You guys are so helpful!! I love the Board. As If I didn't have enough on my plate. Here comes a new tangent, I can feel it.
