Default Redeye questions

When did machines have motors added? My 'new' Redeye' is an e machine, but is the wiring original to a 1910 (G335787) machine? It has a grounded plug - see the third prong. The wiring is very pliable with no cracks at all. The plug is just dirty. The seller said she was told it worked but she only used for decor.
The attachments on the right just have a screw - I don't think they are for this machine. The attachments that do fit are regular short shank ones, not like my 1918 treadled Redeye. The machine turns easily, through dry feeling, but I haven't plugged it in yet. No rust at all. The bed is worn so it means she sewed well at one time. Now to start her cleaning. I think she's well worth my $5.
