It will run, I tried it with another foot control. The wiring is very bad. All the insulation comes off when you try to move it. I would like to find what I need to get it sewing. That will probably be hard to find. I will check, there is a couple manuals that the lady had one has that it is for a model 35, I don't know if it is the right one or not for this machine. The machine had been in a cabinet, but the cabinet is not usable. It had a funny looking box thing that the knee pedal hooks to; wiring bad on that too. I will let you know.
