Jones sewing machine keeps on running without foot on pedal?

I have an old Jones Sewing Machine model 720 (about 35 years old) every time I switch it on it runs without my foot on the pedal..and only stops when switched off at the mains. Can anyone help with this please?

Hello Beryl,
The most likely cause is the suppressor in the foot control has fused, you need to open the foot control and take out the little square thing, no need to replace it, failing that when you open the foot control if you have a long ceramic tube the carbon discs inside the tube may have broken up and jammed together in which case a new foot control is needed but they are quite cheap, buy a YDK model.
