If the cords are frayed you can attach a hand crank and go to town sewing. http://shop.sew-classic.com/Hand-Crank-Treadle_c31.htm
Those are nice sturdy little machines. Maybe someone in the military would love it for sewing up their gear.

Joe,
Someone posted on the Board within the past several days about a part of a machine that had been left sitting in a rust remover overnight. I thought I had come up with a simple solution -- I have a ceramic-top kitchen range -- I use a cleaner/polish to clean (recommended by the manufacturer). It does an excellent job cleaning my range top. However, before trying it (NOT) I put some between my fingers and rubbed them together -- there's grit in that compound, so that DEFINITELY WOULD NOT WORK. Sorry!

Pictures of the vintage sewing machine
Ok I took pictures of the actual machine that I was talking about here they are.
The first picture is the damage to the case, Then damage to the cord, Serial number tag,
Machine, More damage to the machine, And the throat plate seems to be missing

So if anyone can tell me the name/model of the machine, if I keep it I would like to replace the symbols and decals and make it look as new as possible before displaying it. My husband thinks he can reseal the crack in the case...maybe...

Ok, I got the nerve up to actually plug it in. At first it whinned, so I helped it out by turning the wheel and it does actually have movement!! It's almost like the damage to the cord is not giving it enough juice. So my next question would be how expensive is it to get one of these repaired?? I can't afford to spend 500.00 on a machine that I might never actually sew on...LOL
