Swf/a - t1201

Sandy Green

I have a SWF/A - T1201 . The wires are broken off the potentiometer. Can someone post a pic of the wires connected to the pot so I can see the which color goes where? I am good at soldering wires and have all the tools to do it I just need to know what goes where.

thanks, I can see the colors right at the end of the video. I have the repair video but it doesn't show it that well. I had it right. Brown on the wiper, Red on CCW Black on CW. The problem I have is when I put the potentiometer in test mode it reads 0-7 then back to 0-7 instead of 1-12 .The original pot was damaged and the wires pulled off when I got the machine. I have a new pot to try but a capacitor fried on the power board today. I ordered a replacement cap and if it works I'll get back to testing the pot. I got this machine as a parts machine and had it sewing good for a couple days by doing manual color changes. I got it to learn on so it is serving it purpose until I get a better one.

Good for you. If you get it running, it should be a good machine. I've been running 2 of them since 2001 with no real problems.
