I will of course keep the 'Original' cords.. anyone else change out their Controllers or cords?.. BTW. mine were in very good condition, just changing out for my desire of more speed control and newer power cords..the information is good on the above site as to what you need for what machine..
Happy Stitching Week..going to be a short one..w/ getting ready for Thanksgiving.. have a good one to all members of the Forum...
When I found my 301 at a tag sale for 30.00 I took her to a Vintage Singer repair person in the area. He switched out foot and wires. When I found my 301A in mint condition in a cabinet I discovered it had the pull down knee control and I love using that versus the foot pedal...
