Well, I have some happy news! My DH wired a foot pedal to my White Rotary Electric Black Crinkle Embossed 1931 sewing machine. My DH also figured out why it wouldn't pick up the bobbin thread. Something to do with the hook/race thing being in wrong? Anyway, here he is (this has to be a guy machine). It now sews perfect. Pretty amazing for a machine that had a sledge hammer taken to it!

Two really lovely machines on this page - I would be very happy to own either of them. As for the restoration on that cabinet - awsome!
