Reviving this '80s Classic Singer Futura Electronic 2002 - Part 1

Описание: It's time to revive the Singer Futura Electronic 2002 model from the '80s.

I carry out an assessment of the major working parts of the machine and find a few issues that need rectifying.

The motor, zig zag mechanism, feeding and stitch length mechanisms, sewing and electronics are checked to see if this machine will make it into my collection.

The buttons need a very hard press to make them select their functions and I show how to rectify that issue.
