Default Singer 27 treadle machine - can I use my modern snap-on feet?

I recently got a 1904 Singer 27 treadle machine with a puzzle box. In the process of cleaning the machine and cabinet, replacing the belt, learning to sew on it, etc. I didn't really look at what was in the puzzle box until today. Everything in there looks great from the top but when you remove them they are all corroded underneath. Made me sad when I discovered this because it means I shouldn't use them unless I want shredded fabric.

So, I was thinking I should get a low shank adaptor and just use the snap-on feet I use on my modern machines. I've found a few low-shank adaptors but I'm having a hard time deciphering whether any of them really would work on my machine or not.

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated because I don't even know if this idea will work. TIA
