Well, Ms.White999 decided to start stalling when the pedal is pushed.
Just had her serviced not too long ago, too. Yes, she is an old girl,
29 years and counting, but she's never let me down, not once.
Can anyone tell me why, other than age, she would stall? I can turn
the wheel to get-her-goin', but everytime i push the pedal, i get a
grunt and groan.
any ideas?

It depends. (Couldn't help myself. I just have to say that now and then.)
Now. Let's first consider that it could be an electrical problem or a
foot control problem. Unplug it, plug it back in, gently wiggle the cord.
That might help.
Plug it in somewhere else if you can. Is it firmly attached at the SM
end?
Gently bump the foot control on the floor a few times. Gently!
Can you open it an see if it's housing a mouse or dust bunny?
None of this may have helped but it's a start. Good luck, Polly

Well, I will go try that out! I guess it's kinda like your car mat
getting under the gas pedal?
BRB!
thanks, Polly

sounds like the foot pedal needs some TLC.
did they clean out the foot pedal when serviced?
i'm guessing its not a part that is often, if ever, checked til it starts
playing silly beggars on ya.
they can get dust and grime into them over many years of use.
can you get into it to check inside?
did that on my singer foot pedal quite a few yrs back now and she was very
happy afterwards.
someone else here might have more info on that than i do tho.
dont forget to unplug it from the machine first tho, so no electricity is
going thru it.
hope that helps,
j.
