Just a shot in the dark but I thought it’s worth trying:

I bought this old Brother machine, but it came without a foot pedal. The machine has a power cable and another cable with a 2-pin flat prong female connector, which is where the pedal is supposed to go.

It looks very similar to this machine on EBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/283520681227?_ul=IN

All the “universal” pedals I see online don’t have this kind of connector. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement, or even what type of pedal I’m looking for?

    Honestly you might be better off going to an electronics repair shop. If they can tell you the plug type and electrical specs, it doesn’t have to be the exact model as the original.

      Thanks for the tip! I actually ended up emailing every sewing machine repair shop in the country (there aren’t many) and struck gold with one. I now have a working machine!

    UPDATE: thanks to everyone who helped! I managed to get a replacement pedal and it looks like it works!
