Some interesting tensioning in that machine. Do you
have the manual and parts chart?

TYVM! I did have the manual, but not the parts chart.
Upon first inspection, I see I am missing one disc on the
thread tensioner up top. I was able to get it timed
today, and it is sewing 80% better. I think with a
little tweaking, I can get the other 20%. It's like a
Rubik's cube, not too difficult after the first time. BTW,
my best time was 1:50 on the cube.
Thanks again.

Now, I wonder where to order a disc ..........

I don't know where "Moergestel,5066 ZH" is, or even if you
actually live where your e-mail address is hosted, so that
may not do you much good. But Ron would be worth a try.

I am conversing with Ron on this as we speak. I do hope you are feeling
better soon.

Ah, that'd do some strange things to the tension. I'm curious, though, as to
what you're using for thread lubricant (or is it not necessary at slower
speeds?) I've never sewn on a machine with an on-board lubrication system.

I would have to say that it is an issue I need to address. On inspection of
the manual, there are supposed to be several felt pads, and I must identify
where they are, if they are present, and oil if necessary. BTW, thanks for
reminding me that I have to pick up a bottle of oil while in town today.

Oh, good, I hope Ron can either get your parts or steer you
to a dealer in your area. I didn't remember mentioning that
I had been sick, but thanks for the good wishes. I'm almost
back to what I call "normal", just a lingering bit of sinus
congestion now.

I have never been able to put a Rubik's cube back together
again. They are all Humpty Dumpty cubes around here....

No need to use a thread lubricant for the work you are doing.
Usually only do if the machine is pushed to the outer limits of speed and
there are issues such as thread breakage due to needle heat etc.
Hope you got sewing machine oil.

TY for the heads up. Seems as tho the pads are mostly absent. Yes, of
course, I went to the sewing machine shop and paid $4 for a small bottle.
The last one somehow got fractured, and leaked all out. I like that little
long spout on there. The oil points are marked very well in the manual, and
I understand about keeping any machinery oiled. Going to fool with it today
after I do my work. I need to get my boat cover finished and get some
awnings made before summer ends this year.

Like last year ............

When my doctor said I'd be back to "normal" soon, my wife commented, "That'd
be a first."

Being sick is overrated.
