I have a Singer from the early 90s. The foot pedal stopped working, so I bought a new used one on eBay. It works, but very slowly. Is it the machine or the foot pedal?

It's probably a combination of the two.
1- There is very likely a loose wire in the machine where the foot pedal connects to the machine.
2- The wattage on the eBay replacement may be wildly different from what the machine is rated for - did you compare the replacement with the old one by turning it over and reading the wattage/voltage sticker? It has to match or you'll have the trouble you're describing even if you do or don't have a loose wire in the machine connector area.
If no sticker on the old foot pedal, you can usually find the info you need in the owner's guide and on the machine near the connector point.
