Here's an interesting page showing early Singer models and their various characteristics, as well as pictures of the various shuttles.

sew wishful,
Go to Sew-Classic and look in there parts listing. You can see for yourself what you want. You can buy either a complete set up with motor, wiring block, and foot controller or you can buy them separately. Go look.

FYI If you email SewClassic with a question about what parts you need and include your phone number she just might call you back to clarify your order. SUPER customer service!

Misseva,
You could just remove the motor and treadle it. My 237 treadles just beautifully. You can see my machine in the Photo shop on page 39.

Been there, looked things over, (had no idea how things were sold...whether together, separately, even if you could still get parts just like the old girls had) so I've got an e-mail in to her, a list of parts sitting right here on my desk to be e-mailed back. Thanks for the suggestion and sorry for asking too many questions.

Randa,
I know that I'm late in this reply and that several people have already answered you. That type of foot control (those with the white ceramic blocks inside) are not the safest type when new and when old they are dangerous. They are prone to over heating and sticking in the on position. I always recommend that they never be repaired. Please just replace it.

Another question about this Universal...(I took the motor in to work and showed the maintenance man who willingly took it home to solder the new wires). Meanwhile, I've now taken the foot pedal apart and found a broken wire there. Here is the senario...a white ceramic piece holds six coiled wires wrapped (through a hole) from one side to the other with connectors which, when pressing the foot controller down, a metal piece runs over these connectors to make the machine run, faster and faster (my assumption). One of these coiled wires was broken, black, brittle. What would happen if I just remove that wire? The rest look in great shape. I have no idea what type wire (copper?) nor where to find it. We have a small motor repair place in the next town. I'm wondering if I should pay them a visit??
