That would be great if a little grinding could make the 15X1 work properly.

One of the machines I bought years ago had SCARY wiring - I think it was a 15-90 but it might have been a 201. The lady kept it plugged in and didn't notice that the rubber insulation was literally melting off of the cords and dripping onto the machine and cabinet until we pulled it out to load it in my car!

I did fix that by myself, replacing the motor, the cords and foot control with new. Heaven only knows how close she was to burning down her store.

When I was growing up, my grandmother always had me unplug the 401 after sewing and I forget why, but I still do the same on my 401 - the wiring is perfectly sound and has never given me any trouble, but 60 years later, I'm still listening to grandma.
