« on: November 15, 2020, 11:52:21 AM »
I'm in the process of cleaning up the 222k that I bought recently.  I would like to keep the original electrical cable and am trying to source some original style replacement strain reliefs for the foot pedal and plug ends of the cable.  I'd also like to get new ones for the 221k as well.  Does anybody know where I can get some please?

I think they are the hardest thing to find - but you try the Singer Featherweight Shop in USA and see if they have them, or have any suggestions - there is lots of free info resources there.

I'll second the FWShop, very helpful. If you don't see what you need, send them a little note  :thumbsup:

Glad I could be of help.
He's based in the UK and is a very friendly, efficient, helpful seller.
He sells these Grommets in packs of three: Two for the Machine plug, and one for the Foot controller. Although Foot controllers don't always need/accommodate one. I also use one as a strain-releif for the Mains plug.
