    Our physics department has apparatus (rotating coil magnetometer) which has small electric motors with almost the same specification tag as shown in the rheostat post. If you want a photo, reply here, I believe an email from this blog facility will reach me.

    Hello Mister G
    My sewing machine rheostat is not working. I think the connector between foot paddle and the machine is not working. At back of the connector written 'Shoe Machine Parts Ltd, Toronto'. Can you help me, where I can get it.
