Not sure if I should start a new thread or if I can add on to this one. I'll try this one first. I started this thread last July and have just now starting refinishing the cabinet. It was just too damaged to leave as it was. We have removed all parts and pieces and the stripping and sanding had begun. When ready to put back together, should I purchase a new cord and not use the cloth covered one that was stapled inside for the knee pedal? I want to get this machine in the cabinet and begin using her! LOL
