pott motor rewire.
I have a singer 15-91 sewing machine that I bought from a lady on this board. The bobbin winder had broken in shipping. I found a bobbin winder frame from an old 201-2 and they interchanged. It even came with a wirking motor. The lead wire that goes to the motor on the new frame is brittle. can you rewire these? Where can I get information on these.

PATTIESPEARL,
Here is a link to forum member Rayn or Rain ( can't remember which ) blog where he give very concise and detailed instructions on how to rewire motors, including the potted motors. { http://vssmb.blogspot.com/search/label/rewiring } And then a thread I did not long ago with a few comments about rewiring them. { http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...r-t205360.html } They might look complicated, but in reality they are very easy. Just follow the instructions in the blog. Joe |

PATTIESPEARL,
The potted motor from the 201-2 and the 15-91 are identical and interchangeable, but the bobbinwinder is not. The bobbinwinder parts are fairly easy to remove from the old broken 15-91 assembly and put on the 201-2's motor assembly. I have done this a fewl times. Cathy

I did take the frame that I bought that came from the 201-s and installed it onto the 15-91. The bobbin winder works great, am just concerned about the brittle wire ot the motor on that one. In my mind, I should be able to take the motor with the good wire and put it into the frame that I now have on the machine. I have already tried the jb weld twice on the old frame. it sits at such a funny angle that the winder would not work.

i have even thought about slipping a piece of heat shrink tubing over the top of the wire and leaving it like that. the motor works very well.

I agree with Jon on this. When I did mine the two motor wires were devoid of insulation all the way up inside the motor. It was unsafe to even test run.

that is what i am afraid of. There should be a way to replace the wire going from the motor to the sewing machine

Without disassembling the motor there isn't. Did you read the blog I posted the link to above? It is very detailed, but not overly complicated to rewire these motors.
