Smashed Electrical Boxes...Where to Find Replacements?
Anyone have a source for those old bakelite electrical boxes where the foot peddle and power source joins? They seem to be the first thing that gets damaged in shipping. Thanks, Cindy

sew-classic carries them - all you have to do is pull the old one off and put the new one on, wire on a foot pedal and plug it in. DH makes them out of electrical boxes and wire in a pinch. They are not rocket science.

sew-classic or ebay

Thanks guys. :)

Wish I could find just the box though. I want to use the old fashioned cloth covered wire. Probably need to brush up on my Chinese, and look for the source. In the old days, they sold a surface mount black bakelite outlet box, that was a bit large but would look period enough.

kind of like this, but too much $$$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brown-Surfac...-/350537374088, but preferably not 3 wire.

I'm looking for all the electrical guts for a White (1940 ish) and an Emdeko (like I'm ever going to find THAT.) ~C
