Featherweight Rewiring
#11
I came across this website today and at the bottom of the page there is a area that you can bring up depending on what you need to know! Lots of information. Maybe this might help specially if you are going to rewire. I read they used the service manual for servicing the Featherweights when out in the field. If you do take it to someone make sure they have worked on Featherweights before. I have a person in my area that knows them inside and out. He cleaned and serviced my first one and did a great job. Maybe one of the wires just needs to be reconnected? Did you notify the person you bought it from? Maybe a little refund is in order to help with the other expense!! Hope you find some helpful info on this site.

I may try to find a service manual now. I talked to a local service repair man today. I think I'll call around a little more as I didn't feel real confident after talking to him.

I have a motor for a Universal at a service center right now. The quote was their usual bench fee of $35, but may be $25 of it goes easily. When I realized it meant working in a tiny space and soldering, I checked with my sewing repair guy. He recommended a small appliance repair. Works for me. I was dying to use the machine, but not willing to die to do it.

I pm you some information. Here is another web site that was shared with me. I haven't looked for your problem fix but I one that clicks a bit. This was shared with me and found it helpful. http://thefeatherweight221factory.com
I'm glad that the other site was of help. It seems to be very informative.
