Blackberry, That machine is a 66-1 and was originally a treadle or hand crank machine.
The motor is a non-OEM Belgelcor. If it's functional it's a very good motor. I'm always looking for them. The wiring is aftermarket as well. The cord block is available from Sew-Classic and other places. That strange plug is I think what is called a Chicago plug. Very hard to find. The light will have to be rewired, maybe the motor too.

The bobbin case needs to be removed and thoroughly cleaned. To remove it unscrew the vertical screw to the left of the presser foot toe, remove the foot and wriggle the bobbin case holder out, then remove the bobbin case.
The screw entering the bobbin case holder from the side should not be there. That hole should have a cone shaped spring with a felt piece in it to lube the hook.

There is a missing screw on the bottom rod to the right. Not sure where to tell you to look for one of those.

Would I undertake the task of refurbishing that machine? OH YEAH. No hesitation.

Joe
