Thanks for sharing your prior experience with this machine. That is neat that one used to be able to get surplus/seconds fabric.

I just checked the link that I gave to determine shank type and it wasn't working - found a couple of others at https://www.statewidesewing.co/catal...in_page=page_2 and https://craftscapitol.com/pages/will...sewing-machine Actually, I've recently purchased a high shank snap-on adapter. I haven't tried it yet, though.

I just noticed that your motor is a 1.3 amp. You should be okay with a foot control that is rated 1.2 amps which I believe the electronic ones are. There are youtube videos to switch out or wire a new foot control. While I was looking for the right one, I noticed a lot of them don't list the amperage, or were beyond my budget (I'm used to thrift store prices, LOL). There were a couple that did list amps, but were less than what you need.

Hope this helps getting this heirloom back in working order and brings back many happy memories for you.
