Default In need of advice

Let me start by saying I a clueless about old machines. I always thought it would be nice to have one sitting on a shelf in my sewing room just to look at. Then a couple of days ago hubby was helping his mom gather items for donation to a hospital fund raiser. Amongst the inventory was this machine which had been her mother’s. She lost her mom at quite a young age and was quite torn about letting it go but she simply doesn’t have enough space to keep it. I volunteered that I would take it to display in my sewing room and then she would be able to see it when she visited. She was thrilled with this.

It isn’t in the best shape....the wooden base is extremely brittle and damaged by oil. What is underneath the base? Can it be removed? A motor and light has been added which I would like to remove....is this ok or will I make more of a mess of things?

also any general information about the machine would be appreciated. Thank you for your help.
