Any info on an old 'Electro Hygiene' sewing machine?
I just got one off freecycle today, and got it all threaded, ready to see if it works - and I do not see any on/power switch anywhere! lol!!!
Anyone know where it might be?
It looks like it's really old, is in a case and doesn't look like it can come out of the bottom part.
I'm hoping I can have this for my grandkids to learn on - if I can get it turned on! lol!!!
I'd post a picture, but my son has my camera, trying to get it working again.
Thanks for any help! :D :D

Yes, I first plugged it in, and nothing. The bulb socket is bigger than my other two, so I couldn't check to see if the light worked, to see if it was getting power.
I was able to lift the machine out of the bottom case, and there were two more short cords, with plugs, tucked under the machine! I have no idea where they're suppose to plug in.
And I think I messed it up where the regular cord and the foot pedal cord go into the machine base. I undid it, and probably shouldn't have.
I haven't found anything yet on the internet about this machine.

Thanks Dizzy, but no, I think mine looks older, although the belt thingy is inside, not out, like your's. There is one switch up high behind where the light is, but I assumed that was just for the light.
But now that I've found the other two short unplugged cords tucked under the machine, maybe it's a lost cause, as I have no idea where they plug into.

Thank you Dizzy! I finally remembered my hubby's camera phone, and he took some pictures, and is trying to get them to my computer now... It looks like there's two plug in on the right hand side, but it had a piece of a cardboard type material over them. I pulled that off, and looked like connector thingys fell apart.
I'll try to get pictures posted.
Thanks again!
