Hi All Y'all!
I was at the first meeting of the month for The Thank You Quilters today. We meet the 2nd & 4th Tuesday and Wednesday of the month.
I brought my one of my shortbed black 301s with me today. I plugged everything in, the light came on, but no power to the foot control. Well I took the bottom off the foot control, all the wires looked good in there. So next I took the original connector apart that goes into the machine....oooh not good! Who the heck "fixed" this??? Some genius(not me) had put a new cord set on. They attempted to use the original part; so the wires were stripped and done badly, leaving only 2 strands of wires per connector. The foot control worked intermittently. I'm glad that I brought a featherweight with me too or I couldn't have sewn.
Thankfully the local repairman is fixing things properly. He used to work in a shop that seldom ordered new parts, so he had to learn to fix things properly.
I wish I knew how to do it, since I don't I'll leave it to the expert.

P.S.: I sold the machine today!! So the foot control needed fixing ASAP.
