Generally, the answer is yes, it can be made to work with a foot pedal. Usually there is a plug for the machine and two wires come out of it. One goes to the wall and one to the "go" mechanism. You can usually put another "go" mechanism in the place of the existing one.
Not sure as the wiring is way to damaged to trust to plug into electricity. The machine is heavy solid metal so it will last a couple of lifetimes. I so appreciate your help though. I'm not good at electricity!!! I haven't found a foot pedal and suspect it is knee operated. Need to get back to daughters and really look that cabinet etc over AND get all the electrical out.
