I'm only a beginner, and I don't really know, but I wonder whether it's worth contacting a sewing machine servicer / repair person to take a look at it (do you know whether the electrics are good and working?). The other thing is a sewing machine repair person may have spare parts for vintage machines? Do you have the sewing machine manual?
I don’t know the exact model number and also don’t have the manual, sadly.
The person I bought it from said it was serviced and working but the pedal was broken and they couldn’t find a replacement.
I’ll try finding a repair person, but I live in a small country so my hopes are low. Thanks for the idea though!
I think the machine you have is a Brother Super Flairmatic 190B sewing machine. (I used Google lens on the picture you posted). If you search this on Google, you'll find quite a bit of information, and there's even a YouTube video!!! You might even be able to find a manual this way. Good luck!!!
