Help! Should I buy this? It might be already gone.

What do they mean by "The machine itself now turns on but doesn't operate through the peddle"? How do they know this? Is it possible to plug the motor in directly, not thru the controller? I'm wondering how much I would have to spend to get it working.
I can't tell if there are any decals left but for $75 it doesn't matter. Also, the spool holder is missing.

SteveH, do you have one? I'd love to get a hand crank or treadle, but they're expensive. I have to check out the needles it takes.

I make it no secret that I like Pfaff's. This one is in less than pristine condition and they have the nerve to say,"You will be hard pressed to find one in this condition for this price.". There is another one on CL for about 1/3 this price of $600 and it is in much better condition too. Who are these people?
