Hello Orchidland,

    I hate to throw anything away if it can be reused or repaired. My
    Husquevarna/Viking sewing machine has a broken internal part that
    will cost $350 to repair!! A new machine costs about $260, does more
    and is warrentied. No point in repairing the machine - just throw it
    away (grimacing here). 

    The foot pedal works just fine. Is it possible to reuse this part to
    replace a faulty flexshaft foot pedal, or other electic motor that
    is capable of variable speeds?? 

    What say you all? 

Judy in Kansas, where temps are STILL balmy. At night the Christmas
lights look pretty at night, even without snow.
