Katrina,
Depending on the length of cord you might be able to unscrew the controller from the underside of the cabinet and use it as it. Otherwise you'll need a new cord set with a longer controller side. Or you could rewire your cord block yourself if you want. A sewing machine shop will not rewire a cord block or splice in a piece due to insurance liability costs. All they will do is install a new one. It would be easier and less expensive for you to do it yourself. Same with the servicing.
Ebay is not the only or the best place to find things like this. Sew-Classic is but one place on line that has brand new cord sets. They are neither expensive or hard to install.
