I think that you have to plug those little plugs into a set of outlets that attach to the machine. Is there a foot or knee controller? One of the plugs controls that, the other is either power or the light. I used to run into these at work every now and then. Not the brand, but the type. If you are unable to locate the controller, you need to order one that has the outlets attached.

Oh Dizzy, I wish we were closer too!! lol!! I'm about one hour north of Indiana, should you ever get this way!
Thanks Tink'sMom! That makes sense! But I don't know how the plugs (that were under the machine) could plug into the thingy on the right side, and have the machine still be able to sit in the bottom part of the case? And the thingys that fell apart (that were under the cardboard lid, on the right side) must have been what they were to plug in to. - that's where the plug wires that go to the outlet plug and the foot control wire are attached to. And the cardboard lid only had one plug in hole, in it. I am so wishing I had my camera! But I'm guessing this is a lost cause unless I win the Lotto to have it fixed. |
I had one over twenty years ago that hooked up some what like that I wish i could remember how it was done.I know the foot an the machine plugs into the little outlet plug.then the outlet plug pluges into the wall.well i guess typing it out helped figure it out.Maybe you can figure it out by what I said there.

I think you're right, Dizzy.
The only problem is the wires, or whatever, fell apart, in the little cubby there on the right side - where I think the two plugs plug in to. I think I'll have my oldest son see if he can figure out how to put them together again. Thanks again! :-) |
ok dear i wish you lots of luck an hope he can fix it for you.

Thanks Dizzy! :D

My friend has an Electro Hygiene just like the one you have pictured, but needs a manual, do you know where he can get one?

The guy in Youngstown has all the parts, and can tell you EVERYTHING about them. He didn't have a manual though. Then, I found mine. I have to scan it to send to the guy in Youngstown, so he has a copy. Per him, it's better than the majority of things out there, because it is not all plastic. I've read a few things on line, none from people who have worked with them, which are rather condescending. Mine will do some embroidery, and has a variety of stitches. It uses Singer accessories, such as the button hole attachment, and I purchased some presser feet. I decided I wanted to learn to sew clothing, not just piecing quilts, so I'm taking it to my lesson on the 16th for the instructor to see. I have an inexpensive older one I picked up at a Mennonite Thrift shop in White Horse (Gap). A sewing machine person in the area goes over all the ones donated as his contribution. So, you can pick up an inexpensive one to learn on, to see if you like it, before investing in something really high end, like a Bernina. I use the inexpensive one to piece. After the man's rave reviews. I thought I might be too inexperienced for the Electro Hygiene and all its options, which, compared to today's machines are not excessive, but they are more than the cheap one I'm using. I'll be interested in seeing what the instructor thinks of it. The one I have was the top of the line model, and I know my aunt would not have recommended it had she thought it a poor machine. I can give you a copy after I scan it. |
