I would just get the rewiring kit from Sew Classic and do it myself. She has all the instructions right on her website and has a free service manual you can download when you make a purchase. I just emailed her and she sent me links to everything I would need, the links of instructions etc. You can rewire it for under $20. It's not a hard job at all, all you need is the correct screwdrivers. It's one of the smartest things you can do with a vintage machine, especially since the wiring is one of the few things that ever go wrong with them. I can tell you for sure that the wiring on my grandmother's machine lasted exactly thrity years. I was sewing on it the day the wiring burned up in 1976. Scared the crap out of me. Now, I'm finally going to fix it.
