These pedals are found on a wide variety of Singer sewing machines from Hushmatics to Touch and Sews. However they have a highly undesirable habit of going up in a nice little plume of smoke and a nasty smell. Apparently it's the capacitors but it is a trifle disconcerting the first few times. As you have probably guessed that's exactly what the Fashion Mate did to me when I started to sew with it, I had a feeling it might because it looked like it had been stored for a while. All is not lost though, B's son is trying to get a new capacitor for me, which would be great!
Before I got as far as plugging it in though I did a thorough 'cosmetic job' on the machine and it looks really clean and shiny now:
A lot nicer than before!

Hopefully we can get capacitors for it and there will be nothing else wrong with it!
