Way cool. I just realized something looking at those photos, We're spending a lot of effort to find a knee lever when a singer 3 prong foot pedal should plug into that machine..... I see the connector on it for the same type of control my 301 and 221's take. Might be worth looking into whether or not a foot pedal will work.... I do have a couple spares I could send out as a loaner.... Or check your local thrift stores for one with the right control.....

@ripjack13 This is going to drive me nuts, I can't find my schematics for the case controls to figure out where and what is connected to the motor.

Nice of you to post that! Although, there were 2 styles, one had the flat bar you show, the other has a round end on it with a notch of sorts, I think that may be the one he has. If you could get a good pic showing the inside of the socket it goes into?


Be tough to get that photo. It's in Virginia, I'm in sunny "Warm" (almost warm, 50 tonight) south Florida.
& my buddy Tom hurt himself so getting photo might not happen.

@Spinartist Lee, what did Tom do? Everything ok?


Down by the old house he stepped on a log in tall grass, it rolled, he fell backward landing on a 8" x 10" log between his shoulder blades. His head snapped back, not hitting the ground, & he heard a loud crack in his back/neck. Took him a very long time to get up & into his truck.

Said he's never felt pain like that before. X-rays show nothing & MD's want to do MRI.
He has a large bump on his spine between his shoulder blades. Couldn't lay in a bed for 5 nights. Slept in recliner.
He's still in pain but feeling a bit better.

@Schroedc Look what I finally found!!
This has been like the holy grail for me to find without spending a fortune. Not pristine but it is nice. No goodies or attachments, not even an owners manual. Just the machine, foot pedal, some bobbins and the case with a few needles.
But I only paid a $100 for it. I can get the other stuff on feebay.

@woodtickgreg - nice!!! I'm actually unloading a couple of them, figure I'll keep one black one and look for a white one. Cheap 301's are worth looking at too. Takes the same bobbins as the featherweight but gear drive, powerful and quiet.
