The wires that come off of the motor go straight to a plug end - no place for a foot control that I can find anywhere! What is a cord block? Sorry...I don't know ANYTHING about wiring! If rewiring is required I will have to find someone who knows what they're doing - definitely not something I want to try to play with in my own. Maybe some day I can find a treadle table and convert her back.
She might just end up getting cleaned up and put on a shelf to look pretty for awhile. I know she's not a true beauty but she looks good to me.
