Hi- I am trying to find a circuit board (?) or what ever it is called, for my sewing machine. It is the controller that lights up a plastic light to let me know what stitch I am at when I move the lever. It is numbered with 286708-900. I have checked with repair shops and they are not available to buy them since the machine is about 15 years old. My husband removed the original one very easily and will install the new one. I cannot afford a new machine and this one works perfect except I can't change the kind of stitch to another because I can't see what one I am on. PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thanks for the info so far -- My husband took out circuit board then decided to check the transformer in the bottom since that is what lights up circuit board (he works on his lionel trains alot so he was "experimenting".) Well,... when he did he saw that one of the wires was broke off. Since it is so tiny and covered with plastic he said there is no way he could try to solder it together because the plastic coating would melt before the solder or wire. So now we are looking for a transformer for it. The numbers embossed on it are in two sets -- one is #317347-201 ... and the other is strange - someone hand wrote #9423 over the lower set of embossed #'s. This machine was supposed to be NEW when I purchased it about 12 years ago and it has not been in a shop for anyone to repair it. The transformer looks like 2 sets of rolled coils wrapped in blue tape? in a metal frame with one set of red wires coming out with a plastic plug on the end . I have been looking extensively for another machine of the same model for some time now and not found it- I have checked several sources the last couple days for a transformer and haven't gotten any leads yet. If anyone knows where to get one please let me know. Thanks alot !!
