It's hard to tell from the angle of the picture whether it's a J2L or a J2LP (pump). I can tell from the color of the wringer release bar and your description of the agitator that the machine was most likely made between 1955 and 1965.
Does it need the entire cord replaced or just the plug? Either of those items can be gotten at a hardware store as mentioned above. Also, I noticed that the lower roller seems to be askew. If it has simply jumped out of its "slot" that obviously a simple little problem to fix, if you need a new lower roller you'll need to do a bit of hunting (but not that much)! | ||

Don't see 
a goose neck on the end of the hose so it may not be a pump model, but you can still get the pumps for these if you want to add one.
Once you replace the plug, see if you can get the rollers on right (you don't want those turning if there a fowl) Once thats straight, plug her in and see if the motor spins, and agitator turns back and forth when you pull the front nob. Next.. make sure that the agitator pulls off and out of the tub (it's supposed to!) check and see if there is a removable lint screen under that. If so, clean and replace. Lube the agitator spline, and post with a little petroleum jelly, and replace. Next, while it's still outside, add water and see if there are any leaks, if not...fill to the fill line (on agitator) plug her in! Pull nob and watch the action LOL (gravity drain after) If you get that far, hit us back, and we'l tell you how to work the wringer HTH Looks like a very nice machine! | ||
