The light works, but when I step on the gas the light completely dims down to nothing. When I stop sewing, the light comes back on? The light doesn't matter as this machine will probably end up in a treadle anyway, but anyone had this issue before? It is like when the motor is running it uses so much power that the light dims completely down.

Now if I could get my Damascus TSM to sew I'd be set!
I'm glad you got it going. I know what you mean about the brute strength - I don't seem to have that either. The 306 twin to yours I have works fine but the plastic on the wires fell off when I got it. I figure it might go on a treadle and use a LED light or something. Maybe it would be good with a motor, I don't know yet. Mine has some smooth finish and some crinkle finish. Kind of a monster. Do you have a good set of disks for yours?
