Thank you for the compliment, Julia. (

Snap, thank you for the picture. The foot control I linked to will
not work for that machine. You will want one will have a lead cord like this
one on ebay. I searched for one of the machines listed in that listing on a sewing parts online store and what they showed was a different plug, so be careful that the plug actually has the three equally spaced slots. Here is one with the foot controller attached
https://www.sewingmachinesplus.com/6...SABEgKVEvD_BwE I think that if you have the correct cord/plug you can probably use an electronic foot controller. Unfortunately the place I used to get parts for vintage machines is no longer in business. I'm sure there are probably many places to find what you need.
It gives me warm fuzzies when people want to restore an inherited machine.
I still think that if you want to use additional feet, it would take high shank. To verify you can measure per the instructions seen at

It looks like your machine has the straight stitch foot - so you do not want to try to zigzag with that foot on the machine. I cannot tell if it is a straight stitch needle plate on. The zigzag needle plate has a wide oval opening for the needle, whereas the straight stitch is a single circle hole. I think that yours does have the right plate, but that foot is to only be used when straight stitching.
Have fun getting this machine back to usable condition.

ETA: While the round belt will work, most agree that a v-belt is better for the machine.
