There's no electrical parts, the hinge on the right is a lid to a small box which has the spare part, the actual machine is on a hinge and opens up from the base which also has one or to spare parts in and also access to rest of the mechanisms. On the left side is what seems to be a fold out extension of the sewing area. when I use the hand crank everything seams to work (pardon the pun) and its really smooth, doesn't jam, no squeaking or anything, I reckon if I knew someone who knows how to use it, they use it no problem, but I don't think I know anyone.
