It could be dust/fluff/lint/etc collecting inside the foot pedal, carefully take it apart and check/clean as required. While you are there also check for a corroded or loose wire.
Hope this helps?

Here is a picture of the attatchments. Does anyone know what the attatchments are for or what they do? The second picture is of a wooden box a friend gave me a long time ago, I collect boxes. I knew they were attatchments for a sewing machine, but I never knew that it went to a vintage Singer sewing machine. I think it is called a Singer puzzle box. How do I find out if they will work on my Singer 9w? I forgot to mention that I paid $30 for the machine and cabinet, it needs a belt.
I love your avatar, very pretty! And your attachments are very NICE! Link to attachment info that hopefully will be of help to you. http://www.thesewbox.com/free_sewing...tructions.html
I think a couple of those attachments in the top photo will work on a White or National.

Is this a good deal? I checked on ebay and it does not sound too far out of line.

Many years ago I owned a Bernina 730 and it was a great machine, gave it to my daughter...unsure where it is now. My husband bought it for me around Apr/May 1971 and I made anything and everything on that machine. It was a real workhorse and in hindsight I should have kept it, but you know how it is!! LOL
Not sure this helps?

I thought maybe the ones you called hemmers where for bindings.
