Questions: Hinge-Pin Screws & Knee Control Electronics
I recently purchased a Singer 319W that came with a table. Albeit I may be over thinking this, I have two Questions...
Q1: What type of screws do I need to obtain? It is missing the screws that attach the hinge-pins to the table. The round hinge-pin perimeter measures 1-2/8 inch diameter which has a singular tapered screw hole in the center of it; and there is roughly an inch of wood depth to screw into. I've seen advertisements on eBay with the tapered-head screws that also include a set of headless-screws (a small threaded shaft with a screw driver slot on it's flat top). Are the two screw types meant to work together, and if so how?
Q2: Which electrical modification route should I pursue? The seller had told me it would need a new foot control, so I had purchased one. When the table arrived I discovered it had a knee control that is setup to push an original foot control that sits in a clip on the underside of the table, it's cord ends with just two bare wires. There is also a separate electrical cord that plugs between the machine and wall outlet; it's brown male wall plug end and cord appear to have been previously replaced; it's black female machine end plug appears to be original. So, now I have a new foot control where the female plug is a struggle to fit into the machine; it does run the machine but doesn't fit in the original foot control clip to be able to use the knew control. Therefore which route is best to get the knee control functionality? Do I modify the new overly-snug foot control setup to work with the knee control, or connect the correct-fitting questionable old foot control to the correct-fitting old female machine plug, and if so how?
I'll to post pic's soon.
