You're going to have to do better than telling us it was produced in 1928!  What model # is it?  Can you post a picture?

There are a ton of machines produced in 1928, and the variety is so great that without a model# we really have nothing to go on to give you any information.

Means zippo to me, but Gregg will probably be all over it like white on rice.  Sit tight, info. will likely be forthcoming.

According to the serial number list on the Singer website, you have a model 66, one of 35000 commissioned for manufacture on 22 May 1928.  You can download a free instruction manual at

and a Timing and Adjusting manual at

Being a 1928 model, the machine was most likely produced as a treadle head and had a motor added later, so no telling what foot control was originally supplied.  Any generic two-wire foot control should work, your local sewing machine repair shop should be able to supply a used one for under $10.
