Diannia,
You were fortunate to find such a lovely cabinet and machine. Learn to use the machine and you will enjoy how relaxing it is to sew with a treadle machine.
I have that same cabinet, it has a 1936 Singer 201k in it right now. I recently replaced the original treadle stand with an identical set that is in better condition and is so much smoother. (doesn't clank either) My treadle cabinet was free, the second treadle stand was $15. My original set was the donor for the treadle belt guides and belt shifter.
