Singer 221K Running on its own - Faulty Noise Capacitor

Hello

My 221k suddenly started to run on its own but luckily, having already had this problem with my 222k I knew what to do.

Here is how I fixed the   222K  The noise capacitor in the this one was different to the 221K below

I removed the capacitor from the foot pedal - the capacity is the thing that looks like a battery with the red on.  When it goes wrong, it sends a continuous current across the terminals making the machine run on its own.

Burt was very interested in what I was doing, he seems to like his photo being taken.

All back together with the capacitor removed.
