Bought a necchi lydia 3. Does not run smoothly, seems to have hesitation. Cannot move stitch selector readily. Have no manual, so don't know where to oil.

I used https://www.google.com to search the internet and saw a free online manual that did not mention fuses, so Ray Gallant's answer appears correct.

Free manual:

Perhaps a manual would be helpful:

Then ask where you can get one.

The foot control you use should be readily available at any sewing machine parts supply source. There are models that range in USD from $35.00 to 69.00 for the replacement foot control.

I would look in the yellow pages under sewing machines and parts for a local replacement source not being concerned about brand name when it comes to a foot control other than like connections.

Thanks for using FixYa.

I have a necchi Lydia 3 manual and will be happy to share. Brig
