How the heck do I replace this? I know I should have researched first but just didn't think clearly - one of my cats was killed last night on the road and we are trying to dig a grave for her - ground frozen, rainy awful day. So please be kind lol. I will post some pics soon to show you what I inherited here. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Sorry to hear about your cat Yankeegirl.
This should help you with your wick issue. Plain craft felt works, but your sewing store MAY carry or can get the replacement.

BTW, I recently restored a Queen. Pretty machines.
