I got the slide plate and spring from Sew-Classic - I sent an email about a spring but I have a feeling it's not going to be something in stock.
Is it the same as a 401???
No, :( I just went and checked. It's smaller. The hobby shop I went to measured it and said it was 3/56. I know it's part #226D. Its almost the size of a screw in pair of glasses - just a little bit bigger, I think. There is a Singer authorized repair in Syracuse - I'm going to call tomorrow to see if they have one.
