I got the Singer 185k up and running nicely last week, ordered needles and bulbs, and when the postman came this morning I was raring to go.
I unscrewed the lightbulb mechanism - the old fashioned type, and tried to plug the lightbulb in. Drat, wrong one, I got the screw in rather than the push in.
So, I went in search of a bulb from another machine. Eventually found one, and went ahead and pushed it in. Nothing doing, bulb must be duff. Went and cannibalised another machine for another bulb, same result...
Then I noticed that the machine wasn't plugged in.
Plugged it in, tried again, still no joy. Next bulb, same again no lighty uppy....
I think the light mechanism may be duff - unless you know any different?
Back to using my trusty LED torch as a SM lamp then...
