The same but different...
The pink one is stitched using the fashion discs on a 348 and the blue is using the same discs on a 306k. The 306k seems to have a wider stitch capability than the 348. The 306k was much smoother and quieter but the blue 348 is much prettier!
Having trouble with both foot controls getting very hot.

Nice!
Foot controller getting hot - these are vintage foot controllers I'm guessing? They need looking at I should think. I'll ask my OH (who does the electrical stuff on my machines) what needs doing if you'd like? It's a 'thing' I just can't remember what LOL

Any advice would be great @LeilaMay

It's probably a wiring or adjustment issue, and you should have it looked at. - That was his advice :)
There's a video from the Featherweight Shop about foot pedals, but there were different types of Singer pedals so this might not help.

Efemera it might be capacitors but my experience only goes as far as a 221K. Do you belong to Vintage Singer Sewing Machines UK on FB? Lots of information there.

The Admin has sewlincs.co.uk and a postal repair service. I've been let down lately by local shops who aren't experienced with old machines.
Yes...I’ve messaged Dave on FB and he’s sorting me out.
