Default Need some research help.

I know, we've been around this bend before, but I need some research help and do not know where or how to begin.

I have a Singer 327 ZZ machine that needs the light fixed. Machine is a 67 vintage made in Italy. It has the rectangular light on the back.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]482833[/ATTACH]
I don't have a pic of the light.

When I got the machine there was no bulb so I put one in. The switch would not turn the bulb off. Once apart I can't get it to work. I'm thinking there is a part missing.

So what I need is a link to an exploded drawing of the light, or a pic of one with the bottom removed so I can see all the internal parts and how they are laid out.

Does anyone have one of these machines or at least one with this type of light they would be willing to take the back off of and photograph for me?

TIA

Joe

Never mind. I found what I need in manuals I forgot I had.

Oh sure i see how you are. Make a guy fee like he's not needed.
Oh yeah, I would have been useless to you anyway.
Good to see you found what you needed.

Rodney,

LOL, I found what I needed but even with the switch assembled to the factory parts book image, it wouldn't work right.
As I messed with it one of the springy contacts broke. So I figured I'll just toss the original rotary switch that didn't work and put in a small toggle or push button switch. That will be better anyway.

I think I might have a machine just like that one in my "spare parts" stack. Do you want me to check it out?
