1916 Singer Motor/foot pedal question
Hello Y'all!! I have a question that I hope that someone here can help me with.
I was given a "Redeye" 1916 Singer and for the most part I have no problems with "Charlie". The only thing is Charlie has a 1 amp motor (is that the right word?) and the foot pedal that is currently on it is a 1/2 amp. If I use Charlie for any real length of time the footpedal can get extremily HOT!!
I don't know how to fix this and really don't want to give up on Charlie since this would my quilting machine. Any help would be very helpful but I'm hoping for a free or super cheap fix if there is such a critter since I don't have any funds to do a major or even a minor repair bill. I am also looking for any of manuals including one that would tell me about maintence that I would have to do on him.
Could someone please help me. TIA
Tricia
