Members Cferna27 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 4, 2019 Here is a closer pic of the presser. Here is the foot. I cannot find a similar foot design to replace it? Quote
mikesc Posted July 4, 2019 Report Posted July 4, 2019 Your top picture there shows the foot is slightly to the side of the needle hole..so..the heated foot is to seal the edges of two pieces as they are being sewn.. Pretty sure that if you undo the plate that is on the machine that the forward and reverse lever goes through that you'll find you have reverse if you push the lever upwards..as I said above..I think it was put there to avoid "operator error".

Members Cferna27 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 4, 2019 Hi and thanks. I'll remove the plate and see if this unit can reverse. C. Quote
Members dikman Posted July 4, 2019 Members Report Posted July 4, 2019 That plate looks like it's reversible itself and can be fitted the other way? At least now its obvious that the knob is a rheostat to control a heated foot. Wiz is right, although I'm not sure I'd use the word "customise"! That terminal strip for connecting the wires is functional but not very professional, in fact the whole box looks like a home-made job. If it was mine I'd remove all the wiring and fit a servo. Keep it simple. It's an interesting machine though. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
