The block is held in place by a single screw above the three brass pins of the terminal block. We are going to begin at the terminal block on the back of the machine without the power plug plugged into it. So to help to eliminate the confusion I am going to try to explain why they look different but electrically function the same way. Because of this factor, it can look very confusing when the diagrams don’t reflect the visible change on the machine itself. The fun part is they used the same terminals on the block itself for the motor and the light but they changed and evolved the points of connection for the power and for the controller.

Notice the plural, yes they used the same blocks above the motor mount for a long time and for a variety of machines. But this time we need to delve into the known –unknown and explain a little about the specific wiring of the Singer terminal blocks. I usually don’t like to get brand specific when we are talking about general maintenance and or cleaning up the machines to bring them back into smooth running order.
