Does anyone know if it's the same as other full size Singers of the same time frame like a 401A?
If so, I can check and see if I have a workable replacement. I have a couple machines that are just parts machines at this point. If I have one I''ll send it to you.

I looked at one on ebay. The 413 is a Stylist, if that makes any difference. In googling Singer 413 sewing machine, Joe Miller's 2013 posts regarding that model came up, and would indicate that he is the 413 expert. I have a 412G, nothing like the 413.
