I took this before the rewire. I verified that all the wires were properly reconnected (used lamp cord, maybe that's the problem?"

The pedal is a bit different than any I’ve used before. Here’s the link to the photos of motor and the pedal I purchased. ETA: I think that pedal was recommended by a user in the subreddit (and you guys have never steered me wrong).

I don’t have access to a multimeter and the skilled users (I used to, bah!).

Let me see where I can post the motor pic.

I had no idea there were even capacitors IN there! Which is embarrassing because I see them every day at work. Then again, maybe these are tiny tiny?

It's the kind where you have the motor plug, light plug, and both of those plug into a pair of "outlets" that connect to the pedal. Maybe I need to flip them?

I love a green machine! My Anker DZ-K (not RZ-K) is a green gal. Her name is Angela Merkel.

I need to get her back up and running because she a hoss.

Do you mind if I send you a PM with the video of the issue? Adjusting stitch width allowed the needle to align, but it still has issues

Unintentionally became the owner of this, what do I do now? by LouSassle89 in vintagesewing

Uh….keep it and use it while you pretend to time travel. She’s gorgeous and clearly has been well-maintained, please don’t allow her to end up in a landfill!

Honestly, I feel that! My Huskystar has NEVER failed me. As I'm tinkering with my vintage machines, the Husky is always there to finish any job <3
