Title: Replacement foot control
Post by: Sew What? on January 29, 2020, 13:37:05 PM

The foot control on my Pfaff 85 is pretty old and not that easy to control as its the old mechanical (?) type rather than electronic ones like this

Wiring the replacement isnt a problem, the problem is finding the right pedal to replace this as it has a 3 wire (core) with live, neutral and earth. All the ones Ive found are 2 wire.

Anyone know of a replacement for this type?

Thanks

Try Robert Theobald. Formerly my man in Luton, he retired to Weymouth but still trades in spares and knows all there is to know about machines.
