I was planning to be supplying electric motors, lights, pedals and electrical advice only until the stock was reduced a good deal, and I was not planning to re-stock much.

Hah! that was a vain hope, lots more stuff below

NO RETURNS on electrical stuff unless I have got it severely wrong...

I think they breed
Page updated with deal of muttering, May 2025 and almost every day since... is there no end to this?

Everything else in this website and business is running absolutely as normal, but please use email to contact me

Electric machines can be dangerous (they bite), so don't try to repair/rewire them unless you are competent and qualified to do it.
Anything you do to the powered part of an electric machine is done at your own risk, if you are not sure of what you are doing take it to a professional, to either do the work or at least check it.
Some old electric machines cannot be made safe to modern standards, usually the motor and plug need to be replaced - contact me for details.

On this page I have pedals, cables and plugs for rewiring, and complete pedal sets, consisting of of pedal, cable and UK mains plugs which are ready to use. I don't supply European or US plugs, sorry, you have to do your own.
Please pay particular attention to the plug-at-the-machine-end type - if the pedal looks a little different but the plug matches it should work.
If you are the least bit unsure (and you Really Should Not have lent the machine out, that's how pedals get lost), send an image of the socket, please...

Early Singer pedals (and actually quite late ones) are the "button" type - you rest your foot on the fixed button on the right and swivel gently to actuate the moving button on the left. These are pretty good when you get used to them.
I call these MOPP001 - I have Black, and Brown, and sometimes I get grey ones, very occasionally I get a green one, but not any green ones at the moment
I do have tan ones!

Like so...
Black ones are MOPP001blk £17.50
Brown ones MOPP001brn £15
Grey ones are MOPP001grey £17.50 (Sorry, no grey ones in stock)
MOPP001tan Tan ones! £17.50

MOPP002s are Rounded YDK types, commonly still fitted to many machines. Always black (see below for various plug types with these)
Unwired used ones are £20, New ones; £25...

The later Singer machines generally have Rectangular or Clamshell Pedals

And these also come in Black, Brown, and Grey
MOPP003 Unwired ones are £15

The other common type I get are the Sew-Tric type, and these all tend to blackness too

Like so...
MOPP004 Unwired ones are £25

All other types are pretty much machine-specific or odd, or somewhat unlikely, so see below for what you need, please.

Checked or rewired; with a modern UK mains plug, and the correct fuse, these have a mains wire fitted...

This section all up-to-date November 2025, and this is absolutely everything I have in loose cables. Unless listed as with a mains plug, add £2 to have one fitted with a 3-amp fuse. Make sure this is what you need, and that you are competent to wire these to the pedal, or have someone who is....
Most of these are two wires attached to a machine plug, one to go to the mains, the other to the pedal, and they need attaching to the pedal. I can do this, choose a suitable pedal from the list above...

Bear in mind please that many plugs and sockets are common to lots of different types of machines...
Some are just a mains lead (because the pedal is separate) - this is noted...

Knee Bars and Actuators Usually for electrical conversions and such... If you have a little round hole in the front of your machine's base and a curious metal box in the tool compartment, this is what you need. American-made machines tend to have a round-ended bar, I don't get these. The UK type are flat-ended, and I definitely have these...

TB142b Catch for holding the knee bar inside a domed case (fastens under the bolt for the handle); £5	MOPP007 Knee bar actuator box; £15 with bits (not shown) to connect to the kneebar
Bargain Batches I have a huge stock of Singer button pedals, ask for a bulk price if you want more than 5 These will have been checked and should be perfectly OK, but will need wiring
