Singer 201-2

Your machine looks like it might be a Centennial? And maybe a 201-2? That's pretty much identical to the one I have in the studio.

I didn't want to mess with the knee controller cord and the spring loaded thingy.

That's more dedication than I have! My back would have served notice!
The spring thing and the knee controller shouldn't be affected. I take machines out of their cabinets to transport them and have never had to mess with either.

thanks guys... I feel better. I will keep in touch with this gal... maybe if she can't sell it I will offer her $50 and see if she will take that... I am hoping my husband can do any oiling and repair that it might need. I appreciate you input a lot.

On this machine the knee controller cord passes through a rubber ringed hole in the spring loaded plate. To R&R the head I either have to remove the springy part from the cabinet, or disconnect the cord at the machine or the controller.
I undid the springy part from the cabinet when we removed the head to transport it home. I didn't want to go through all that again.

Sally,
They are not that complicated to work on. And there is an excellent tutorial from a forum member named Rain about rewiring the potted motors. So nothing is beyond the capability of someone with a modicum of ability.
