I have a Singer Model 9217 sewing machine. It runs fine, but the light for the pattern selector is out. I can't tell which stitch it is on without testing each time. I assumed it was a simple replacement of a bulb or maybe an electrical problem, but the repairman says it is the "light board" which is no longer available. I can't find any references to a "light board" anywhere. Could anybody please point me to some sort of direction to see if this problem can be solved?

If a 'light board' is what is truly needed it is possible someone has found a way around this. You would need to contact all of the sites that sell parts for your machine to see what they tell you. If your service man is correct there may be another brand machine that would work on your machine.

You can also join the message board at Ismac's and ask your question on their site as these are people who are constantly using different parts to make their machines work.
Here is a link to the manual: (no light board is mentioned).

Contact singer.com with your info, or youtube.com has how to's and videos on repairs and parts!
Here is an online Singer replacement parts site for your machine. If the light board is still available you should find it here.
