I came across a machine with the number E143658 but can't find any info on model, year etc. Does anyone know what it is? I've looked on the usual sites to date with no luck.

Thanks, and so happy to have found this forum!

Can someone tell me the "correct" name for the part that connects the motor to the belt? My 319(black) has a cracked part that looks like it can be replaced. But, I don't know what to google as I don't know the name.

This isn't the exact motor, but a pic of one I got off ebay. The part name I need is circled.

Hi Sharon! Thanks for the welcome! I'm in MI.

My avatar pic is what brought me to this site. Stopped at Goodwill yesterday cause my sis had just got a super nice vintage American made stained glass lamp there for $8. We both work in glass and know what to look for.

Anyway the store is on my way home and thought I'd better stop and see if I could find a treasure. They had a Singer (AH226962) in a cabinet (56) for $35. I checked the handwheel, it turned nice and smooth so I told the clerk I would take it.

Then she said they plugged it in for someone else and it didn't work so she would lower the price if I still wanted it. Got it for 25 in the end. Not sure if its a 66-16 but think so. Also not sure how far I have to tear into it to clean it up well. The cabinet could use a refinishing though.

Oh... and the best part...IT Works! They either didn't plug the cord in all the way, had a bad outlet, or tried the knee lever without the petal in the cab (like I did at first).

Hi Billy! So glad to catch you here!

Read 3 of your tuts last night till my eyes wouldn't focus on the screen any longer. Both the cleaning and electrical tuts are the reason I joined this site. Thank you very much for doing them.
