So can someone suggest a new foot pedal that might get me a little more heat sink and range of motion, I have no problem with the powerful motor and in fact kind of like it just wish I could excersize a little more control over this little monster.
thanks

Dan,
I have a similar problem. My MW URR988 or 7 Jewel, has a 1.5 amp motor and it's foot controller gets VERY hot. I have a thread here about it.
I got the foot controller from Sew-Classic and Jenny wasn't much help. She suggested I try an electronic controller but when I told her the motor was 1.5 amp she said that "
might" damage an electronic controller because they are only rated at 1.2 amps. I haven't tried another controller yet, but that is the next thing on my list.
The Alden I just brought home from Indy has a 0.8 amp motor on it and it's foot controller got blistering hot in just a few minutes of sewing. So I can't use that one either.
At this point, I'm frustrated as well. Hopefully somebody will see your thread and have something to say that they didn't say in my thread.
Joe
