Any ideas where I could get a replacement or have it fixed. The Singer part number 5816. I'd see if I could find someone local who could do a hard soldering job. So either silver solder or bronze solder. Silver soldering can be done using a Mapp torch, and it is incredibly tough and it works on most materials. Someone installing air conditioning plants or refrigeration machinery tend to use silver soldering a lot, so if you have some local company that does that it might be worth giving them a call. Good luck with the repair job. Brgds Jonas Quote
