Yes, that is the ISMACS picture of the table, but what type of knee bar is depicted? I know it is an artistic rendition so it may not be accurate but it does not look like the straight type or the ? t...
Yes, I was thinking one of those straight bars would fit. Maybe this is why this table was produced for only a short time? When Singer switched from the straight bar to the question mark shaped bar, t...

Thanks DobbinDee. Likely the only way I will find that little junction piece is by finding a whole motor/foot controller with one still attached. Luckily the hunting is part of the fun with this hobby...

The motor connects to the power cord/foot controller with a 2 prong push in plug...is that what you mean by 'light bulb socket' type?
Thanks...I do see the groove in the hand wheel for the treadle belt. I posted new clearer pics of the motor. It is an early Singer motor. Could this machine have been 'electrified' at the factory or ...
