Good luck. As long as wires from pin 1 doesn't touch pin 2 and pin 2 touch pin 3, your good. Keep the notch in the connectors down and a hex point must be up. Hard part is keeping the 3 connectors lined up and putting the plastic top back on without the connectors moving out of position. It always took me a while with my clumsy fingers, perhaps all it needs is a ladies touch.

OK. What do you look for on an Elderidge? The rusted can is there. Is there anything else goes on it? Will it work if it has a bit of rust?

Those three pin Singer connectors can be a pain but they aren't that bad. I've done a couple. They still work.

I have a few machines that I have not tackled yet, that have scary looking cords on them. Your expericence is what I am hoping to avoid, so I will be paying attention to the advice given.

I was treadling a little bit on my Davis NVF last night, and it is just amazing how easy it treadles. It really wants to go fast. And the quality of it's stitches is wonderful...very straight, even and tension is great.

I know where there is one and I have plans to go get it - does anybody know how to know if it is all there? It has a can with a wooden spool in it. Does anything else need to be there??? There is a bit of rust on the can - will that hurt?

working the machine that was the issue there. It took a bit of doing but the metal piece of the bulb out and once I got the new bulb in, the light works fine. Am now playing with the clutch to get the needle to stop moving up and down for winding the bobbin. BTW, I invested the time at the ISMACS site and printed off a manual for the machine - my machine is a bit different but info is still valid. This machine uses the Bernina/FW/301 sized bobbins so I only have 2 to work with at the moment. Tonite I work some more on the clutch and tomorrow I hit the store to see if I get some more bobbins there and a new friction wheel for the motor as mine has a flat spot. The wires are all good and the handwheel moves away from you and not towards you. Happy to answer any further questions anyone might have.
