There is a better view of the go pedal and stop linkage . And how I mounted the servo.

The go pedal has a built stop to keeping from going over center and sticking the motor on. I still have to work out the presser lift pedal and linkage.

Here is another update on my home made table for my cobra 26. I did a test fit for the machine and pulleys to see how it all works. The first picture is the way the machine will mount through the angle, the 2x4 is slightly thicker than the table will be. It works great, I'm happy. The 12"and 2" pulley setup really increases the torque and keeps the speed where it is completely controllable even on the 3rd setting on the servo

The musician gene jumped over me and went straight to my Grandson. He is a blessed and talented lead guitar player with his own band. I could never get both of my hands to work together on a guitar, regrettably with the nerve damage in my legs and feet from 3 back surgeries my feet are not super cooperative to instructions for what pedal to push. Everything that I do has to be slow and deliberate. Not whining about what I have , just explaining. I am determined to make it work. At 71 years old I'm too thick headed to say I can't do this and just give up. I will get it done slower is all Thanks for everyone's advise and tips it's saving me a lot of rework. Best Regards, Terry

At the end of the day it is all about usability and function. Your setup looks like you have everything that you need. This is like a personal challenge to me, I could have bought a set of legs with 2 pedals that just needed a new top for $75.00 from my only dealer within 50 miles of my house. I know that I'm just a stubborn old man trying to prove to myself that I can still fabricate a usable product. Who knows I may still end up with the one from my dealer.

Thanks for the tip, I've never had a machine with a foot lift before.And since I haven't made the pedals yet I can fit them both on the outside of the frame. I was just going for a straight path for the foot lift cable so moving it 3 inches to the left is no problem.

I got a chance to do some work on my version of a sewing table today. Here is some updated pics . Let me know what your thoughts are.

Here is a top view of where the head will mount, the back holes will go through the table and angle, the front holes will go through the tabletop ,

Update on progress of home made table.

That is definitely a small footprint, I can see where casters could become a little tipsy. My cobra 26 isn't quite as large but I plan on adding a cabinet on the opposite end of the table and extending the tabletop the extra distance. That should help balance things. I have room for a slightly bigger table but I still need to be able to get it to a designated spot. I haven't fully decided on casters yet, I'm not going to get in a hurry and end up changing stuff . Think 3 times build once.

Thanks for your input, I did plan on adding another 1-1/2"x1/4"angle across the front but I ran out of material today .I am also going to weld flat bar under both sides and I need to decide what to mount for the go pedal and presser foot lift. Also I only need a belt cutout and 5 holes to mount the Cobra class 26, plus light and thread stand holes. I think that I will hold off on the casters for now until I get further along and then decide. Regards,Terry

Thanks , It will be solid for sure, I will go pick up materials tomorrow and keep going. So far it has all been done with stuff that I had laying around and a little time
