Old Montgomery Ward Sewing Machine
#21
There are predominately two sizes of screw in bulbs. Do you have a night light with a screw in bulb? These would look like the ones at https://www.dollartree.com/sunbeam-7...t-packs/156065 There is a sewing machine screw in bulb that has a larger base. If you scroll down at https://www.amazon.com/Dritz-Sewing-.../dp/B00AQ737T8 you will see the basic three types and sizes of sewing machine bulbs. One is the bayonet type and the other are screw in. If you measure the socket that the bulb screws in, you should be able to tell which bulb you need. If it is about a 1/2 inch or a little smaller than the night light or the Amazon link would be the bulb. The bayonet and other screw in would be larger than 1/2 inch.

Sherri, I know this is an old thread but are you still trying to figure this out? If so, I have a Montgomery Ward UHT J1265 and can take a photo of the bulb to show you and see if there are any marking on the bulb that will help. I don't know what type it is as I've never had to remove it.

Judy: yes--definitely buy it. I have a Montgomery Ward machine from 1975 that weighs a ton (it's in a cabinet and you have to lift it up to set it up to sew) but it is a workhorse. I've never had it serviced-I clean and oil it when I think of it. I think it still has the original light bulb in it. I use my Viking 99% of the time (had to have all the bells and whistles LOL) but would never part with my MW. OMG I feel old just talking about this machine LOL!!

White sewing machines used flat needles. Some of the early White machines used system 20x1 needles and later models used system 15x1 (what domestic needles are now).
What White machine do you have?
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf and on an ipad at Posting Pictures From an iPad
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button. As shown at Standard Sewing Machine Co. Paragon
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?
Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap
And how to use an ipad to post pictures can be found at Uploading photos and Posting Pictures From an iPad
Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.
Some additional notes -
The photos generally need to be reduced to less than 2MB in size. I have heard of people sending an email to themselves as it will ask if you want to reduce the size.
I have an android phone and when I tried to reply on Quilting Board while in mobile view None of the options for adding pictures was available. However, there is an option down at the bottom left of the page that is for Full Site when I tapped on "Full Site" It then looked like the way it looks on my lap top. So it would have the Red Reply and the Go Advanced options.
