Treadle & Vintage Parts

Power Conversion Treadle to Electric Treadle or Electric to Hand Crank Portable Knee Control to Electric Foot Control Treadle to Electric Many sewing machines were designed to be operated by treadle or electric. If you presently have a treadle and wish to convert to electric, the machine MUST have a built on motor mount. The motor mount can be found on the right portion of the machine head below the hand wheel (see arrow). This is part of the casting and cannot be added. TO COMPLETE THE CONVERSION YOU WILL NEED: Terminal Box #700 with electric wall plug and wire that fasten to foot control (#204). The terminal box has receptacle for motor plug-in and light plug-in. Motor #270-B with adjustable bracket, mounting bolt, belt and wired with plug for terminal box #700. Foot Control #204 Light #B428(618-M) comes with plug for terminal box #700 (light mounts on the back of the machine over round cover). This system, using the terminal box #700 is very easy, it is a matter of plug-ins (no wiring or rewiring required).

Attach the other end of #600 cord to the existing screws (marked in drawing with red circles) inside the metal plate. The #600 cord can be guided out through hole in the metal plate (same hole used for the light and motor cord). NOTE: This is the least intrusive conversion and easy to convert back should you be so lucky to someday find a knee control.
