Joe is right. Go with a new controller from Sew-Classic.com. I bought one of the electronic ones. DH wired it, but they will do it for a small fee. I love using it now and it won't overheat like the old ceramic ones. Donna

The carbon discs and bakelite bits would be useful (they tend to break during cleaning). If you ever need to fix one up, Tammi's blog has her "Singer at the races" article, which is invaluable (http://www.archaicarcane.com/singerattheraces/).
Anastasia - It looks like you've already basically gotten as far as that post, but the one I link to in that post (http://www.archaicarcane.com/what-a-pile-of/) may help you with the "going further" part. I think the pedal would resurrect just fine. A little evaporust and a little poking here and there. Great learning opportunity for you!
I was borderline terrified of these pedals before I took that one apart. The sizzling steak noises were what put me off...
