I have a similar pedal, but the arm that swings over the contacts is in two pieces riveted together. It has come loose and the arm won’t swing over when the pedal is depressed. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

Just curious is it possible to replace a foot pedal with a another. What I mean is I want to put a modern foot pedal plug in that takes a single end instead of a 3 end plug in for the foot pedal for my vx809 machine.

You usually can put a modern foot pedal on an old machine but will frequently have to rewire it to match your machines needs.

Gee whiz, electronic pedals are far superior to old rheostat pedals-

I agree with you Horace. The goal here was to keep the machine as original and the pedal does work with the machine. Thank you for your input!
