Thank you so much for your help. I don't have any idea if it sews, but I'll fiddle with it and try to see what I can do. I like the cabinet. I'm using it as an end table and if its not in working condition, I'll still keep it until I have to move into an assisted living place. At very worse, I'll donate it ... maybe it can be used in the mission field somewhere that doesn't have electricity. If it does work, I'll look into advertising it as the suggest to someone who wants to sew without using resources. Again, thanks!
