I bet someone on this group can answer that converter question. I am curious as to what either Billy, Miz Johnny, Charlee, or some of the others think. I bet one, if not all, of them has faced the same problem.

I know you can get a converter, but you could also just put on a new motor. I have a Singer 320 that came with a 220 motor, and chose to take the motor off and replace with one from a class 15 machine that had been made into a HC.
I took the motor and light off my Singer 99K that had a 220v motor and used the motor from my 15-90K that I now treadle. I tried hand cranking the 99K and I am a better treadler than hand cranker. Here it is with the hank
crank that came with my 201K.
