Singer machine Merritt 4530, foot pedal number 979374-013: pedal was dropped, many small round circular metal pieces dropped out. Is this something I can fix or is it shop time?

Please add a comment with the model number of your sewing machine to find out if a different feed dog cover is needed for your Merritt. I hope this helps.
Singer has the manual for the Merritt 4530 on their manuals site: http://www.singerco.com/support/instruction-manuals . The direct link to the manual is http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/437_5_6_8_10_slide.pdf . See page 44 for the picture of the points were you should apply sewing machine oil. You'll need to oil 8 points under the face plate on the left side of the machine. Most are places on the needle bar shaft. There are a few connected to the thread take up lever. If you move the hand wheel, you will see most of the points that need lubrication.
I hope this helps.

(In this case, the picture is much clearer than any verbal description I could give.)
Yes, the 4530C was only a variation to the 4530. It actually also fits a wide range of models, including some manufactured by Brother and J. C. Penney.
take the top off with a screwdriver. first, clean the moving parts with a q tip. you can use the foot pedal to let the machine move slowly while you place the qtip on the round areas. for the gears you will need to take time to clean without the machine running. after you do this take your oil and oil all metal against metal moving parts. replace the top. now, do the same on the bottom of the machine. replace the bottom cover. on the front of the machine you will notice places where the needle arm and pressure foot arm is going through holes that guide them. place a small amount of oil on the rods. the weight that is in back of the needle arm should be oiled in the back of it as much as you can. the bobbin carrier has an area that under it that rotates. it looks like a race track and is called race. put one drop on it. just remember all metal against metal is the key. clean!!!!
You didn't specify a model, but foot pedals are generally used by a wide variety of models of machines. Go to eBay and enter your machine's model number, and you'll probably see foot pedals for your model of machine for sale.
I have trouble with this every single time. What you need to do is remove the silver plate right under the needle. If you think of the case as the number 6, put the comma I just typed (a little piece of plastic sticking out from the rounded section at the bottom) under the metal at the bottom.
Then slide the metal plate at the top back on. You may need to turn the knob on the side of the machine (that makes the needle go up and down) to get it to go back on. At this point, as you're turning the knob, the bobbin case should fall back into place.
I just finished doing this myself. Now my issue is that the thread from the bobbin keeps knotting up.
Is there a compatible foot pedal for the 9900
