My daughter is coming up from Florida to visit. We are in clean up mode and it may be a week or so before I get another post up. I couldn't stand the idea of people landing on the blog randomly and seeing Touch and Sews at the top so I'll just leave this here.
Well the 635 bombed out. I did get a good pedal out of it. And I guess a spare PA motor I can work on another project with. But every day is a new hope, right? I bought this off Shopgoodwill and it showed up today.
WARNING! Rants ahead.
Okay in my defense this was an experiment. I've been reading about the 'hack' to run the dual speed 1 amp, Golden Touch and Sew motors in 301/4xx/5xx machines and thought I would try it. So I found this as a local pickup on Ebay.
I've hinted around about planning this for years. Well I've finally gone and done it.
It's not a machine conversion, the 221 still has all its super-cute little parts attached. It's more of an adaptation to of a treadle to drive a 221.
