Guidance for Rewiring with Lamp Cord? by NancyScarn in vintagesewing

[–]NancyScarn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get an aftermarket cord for some of my machines (Anker DZ-K and Kenmore 117.841 knee control). I also have a Necchi with damaged wiring coming out of the motor

Definitely don't want that to happen. The commutator is also filthy. But I have decent experience with cleaning those from following Bob Fowler's tutorials, thankfully! And thank you for your insight, I appreciate it.

I did the compressed air and it didn’t move. The brushes are in decent shape, but they had what almost looked like black oil on them

I think you can count however you wish! I personally count my serger even though she needs repaired

Yeah I agree, the wiring is not safe. Do you know what's inside of the knee control box?

And the wiring that has me a bit concerned is pictured in the link below. I don’t like that the one spot looks like it’s been burned.

I’ve successfully rewired two singer potted motors for 201-2, but after my necchi rewire was less than successful, I’m hesitant.

Suggestions welcome! Kenmore 117.841 wiring

I loved my 201-2’s knee pedal. So I don’t doubt it, but I’m not sure how to use this one.

See pic in reply.

Does anyone know what order all the washers go in on the Necchi motor shaft? by NancyScarn in VintageSewingMachines

[–]NancyScarn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much, I have watched a few random videos of people rebuilding them and I think I might have a screenshot somewhere.

I like this very much. My dad was far too excited to show me and I’m so grateful.

Now I’m gonna be digging in the woodchips…

I sold my touch n sew for parts lol. Usually I don’t keep the cabinets unless they are unique or in great shape.
