Just a shot in the dark but I thought it’s worth trying:

I bought this old Brother machine, but it came without a foot pedal. The machine has a power cable and another cable with a 2-pin flat prong female connector, which is where the pedal is supposed to go.

It looks very similar to this machine on EBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/283520681227?_ul=IN

All the “universal” pedals I see online don’t have this kind of connector. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement, or even what type of pedal I’m looking for?

    I’m only a beginner, and I don’t really know, but I wonder whether it’s worth contacting a sewing machine servicer / repair person to take a look at it (do you know whether the electrics are good and working?). The other thing is a sewing machine repair person may have spare parts for vintage machines? Do you have the sewing machine manual?

      I don’t know the exact model number and also don’t have the manual, sadly.

      The person I bought it from said it was serviced and working but the pedal was broken and they couldn’t find a replacement.

      I’ll try finding a repair person, but I live in a small country so my hopes are low. Thanks for the idea though!
