Billy,
when you say rewiring are you just talking about the basic wires? the motor that was on my handcrank needs rewiring. It has bushings in it (so dh says) and the cord coming out of the motor housing itself is totally bare. It is a very small space to work in! Is this something that is fixable? It was my Grandmother's machine so its sentimental. Its also the machine I learned to sew on and "fix" on with her at my side.
