OK, I think I am among people who care about this kind of stuff! The machine is a Universal and it is in a cabinet. The cabinet front is the back of a chair that slides up into the cabinet and fits flush. The "foot" pedal is mounted on the inside of the cabinet to be used w/ your leg (I think) There are two plugs inside the cabinet - 1 is the cord from the pedal to the plug, and the other is the from the plug outside the cabinet to the wall.
Here are some quick pics I took with my phone just now. Oh, and if anyone has any info on this type of machine or cabinet, I'd love to hear it. The best part? I got the whole shebang, vintage notions in the drawers and all, for $30 at a thrift shop near my house. I got the price down from $50 because I thought I would have to replace the cord.
