will try him. i have not found any vintage machine collectors or enthusiasts here. no old machine part sales. cl for this region of washington state has old machines in various stages of repair & disrepair, mostly singer, white & an occassional cool one like converse etc. but they sit for months and months...sometimes year or more before add pulled. don't know if they eventually sell or get tossed. thanks for the link.

Can you post a pic of the back side and the broken / repaired part? It might help someone who might have such a thing know what you need.

Where can I get the electric card and foot pedal for this sewing machine?

You would have to match us the plug that goes into the machine. Try a sewing parts store on line. Pic here and someone might know.

I have a UHT 1960 with manual, but it is not easy to get to so that I can check which plug it uses. I don't know if it is one on this page -> http://sewingmachine221sale.bizland....re/page36.html but it has several styles that you can look at. I've noticed that sometimes the shape is right, but the size isn't, so be careful.
