Jim, Could I wire an old foot control minus the return spring between the pig tail and box and have a limiting controller? I'm a mechanic, not a sewer and with some machines I have trouble controlling the speed. With the extra controller in line before the return springed machine's controller I could limit the top speed of the machine's controller, correct. I have an extra old controller and like you I salvage and repurpose.
