Trust wiring on FW?
I'm hoping to snatch a Singer Featherweight as soon as I find one I want in great shape, ready to sew, and with a carrying case.
My biggest fear , and first question, is about the wiring. Scared of all things that might spark, smoke or electrocute, I immediately shy away from any cord that looks worn, old, or ominous. But can some original cords/foot pedals be trusted! How would I know? Or should I just plan to replace any cord and pedal that the owner hasn't already?
I personally would pay $350 for one in my area that fits my ideal. I just need to know , can I trust a cord if it has no visible signs of wear?
