Thank you, Cari. I don't know if we will actually get this one back operational. We kind of figured the light switch shouldn't be too hard to fix/replace. I had wondered about the thread tension assembly. Would any Brother tension work? After looking again to take the picture of the tension that is on there, I did NOT see any parts that would connect to release the tension when the presser foot was raised. I guess one could just remember to set tension to -0- when lifting presser foot -- kind of like the tension releaser on the early Singer 27's. I haven't ever taken anything OUT or OFF of the inside nose area.
Do you have any theories about J-A & J-C designations.... Some seem to be engraved or embossed in the base, some are on the Serial Number plate and others seem to be "printed" somewhere else. I'm wondering if one is for the manufacturer and then the other is for who the manufacture is making them for.
