Now I just got picture of the back of the machine. The only wiring is from the electric light that is attached on back and that wiring was disconnected from the motor... maybe??? I am a novice at this machine preservation but I love these old Singers. Easy to maintain... So OurWorkbench, you have a great idea. I also have a beautiful oak treadle cabinet with a tattered old Sphinx... just maybe??? hand crank or treadle or put a motor back on? You all have been great! Thanks so much.
