Thanks for any suggestion? I hate to put this girl in permanent retirement!
Welcome. I'm guessing that the plug you are referring to is a motor cord block type as seen at

I would
not try plugging the light in until someone familiar with electrical stuff looks at it. I'm not electrically inclined, but John is and he said that he may be able to tell if it was the plug itself or if it was in the wiring for light by the spark pattern.
The block cord like those in the links above would need to have the foot controller wired before plugging the motor plug in and then into the wall outlet.
