Rewiring a 15
Is it easy to replace wires on a Singer 15 easy? The $15 one is calling my name, but if I remember correctly, the cords seemed old. Can I replace them myself? I couldn't on my Universal.

irishrose,
Is it a 15-91 with the potted motor? Or is it a 15-90 with the external hang on motor? If it's a potted motor they can be rewired but it's more complicated and I've not done one yet. There is a web site that gives excellent info on how to wire them. I believe it was done by a forum named Rain (?) but I don't have his forum name or the link to the info. If it's a the external motor they are easier. But you still have to have some mechanical and electrical skills. I've done a couple Singer motors and they still work so it can't be that hard. :lol: The thing about Singer wiring is they use either an external plug in connector block that mounts on the motor bracket, or all the wires are connected in a little enclosed area on the bottom of the motor. The connector blocks are a bit easier. Did I help any, or am I too sleepy to have made any sence? I just got up a few minutes ago. Joe |
Here's the blogspot that J Miller was referring to - it's a great place to poke around, Lots of information.

I'm thinking it's an external motor because nothing looked unusual to me. I will call my friend tonight to see if it sold.
