Looks like it is direct drive?

Looks like a 28 and if I'm reading the serial number correctly...S934xxx, it's from 1906. How do you like treadling?

That's a beautiful machine!

Just brought home a 1921 Singer 66. I was a little disappointed to see how marred up it was when I took the needle holder off. It has a motor on it and wiring that needs replacing. It has the tensioner on the motor and this old foot peddle. Anyone have the rewiring info on this, it seems to be a little different than the newer ones. It is in a cool old cabnet, No. 24, that is a hidden treadle. So, I might have to get that option back up and running.

A good old 66 Redeye.

I assume they will look like that if a machine has a pin rag on it. It's a very common thing.

I haven't seen a foot controller like that. The best I can advise, is copy what's there if it's all connected.

Ya, I just didn't expect it to be quite that bad.

Anyway, I'm still working my way through the roles of electrical tape to figure out what's going on. The first problem I'm seeing that that the foot lever part of the pedal is held on by what looks like a rivet, although the guts look like they're in there with three screws. Then the pedal plugs in with these socket things. Then there's my favorite part, the bare wire passing between parts of the machine and into the electrical tape mystery thing.

I did manage to find one of these pedals in a picture, but that's all the info I've been able to find on it. I do kind of like the design, there is a contact on the back of the foot lever that contacts with the little round contacts you can see in the picture to control the current.
