Thank you
too bad the dealers in
Italy don't have the correct cord for your machine. Did you tell them the shape of the pins? The manual you have, doesn't look like the same cord as yours, either. Like I say I've never seen one like yours here in the USA. I have seen some strange ones.
I'm really not the one to really help as far as hard wiring. I think if I were to do it --- but I wouldn't
--- I would probably try to use what is called a cord block. Many Japanese used it for their machines. Now that I think of it, my Alco that I bought new in 1972 used a cord block and was made in Taiwan.
https://shop.sew-classic.com/Cord-Se...143-SCE143.htm The cord block is pre-wired so that it has one outlet for the light and the other for the motor. That would seem to indicate to me that the light could be wired to a plug, and the motor would be wired to plug. The foot control is wired to the opposite end from the electric plug, with cord plug near the middle.
There are some wiring diagrams at
http://www.doubleveil.net/zssmp/resources.htm I don't know if that would help.
As far as it being made in Taiwan, I'm going by a pdf that can be found at

Good luck. I am always pleased when these vintage machines are brought back, especially when they are machines that are inherited.
