Foot Control & Lead YDK Hollow Fitting

I have had in my possession for nearly 40 years and been the very proud owner of a Singer Steam Press - The Magic Steam Press CSP-1, as it is proudly labelled. I am 79 years of age, an ex dancer, producer, costume maker, curtain maker, toy maker and various other things that I have been able to use my all singing/all dancing delightful steam press (nickname: hotpress) to pursue a life of enjoyment all due to this beautiful machine. I have NEVER had to contact, plead for assistance, to maintain it. It has seen many new, homemade pads and pretty covers and an assistant help to its tired spring control on its left side (a block of wood). I could never allow it to leave my home as I would have felt bereft of a best friend and I could never succumb to using an iron. Basically the reason for this epistle is to thank the manufacturer for making this the best friend of many women and men and bringing into the home the finest product of its kind.
