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 .......... Steve If I've written it once, I've written it a dozen times: ron [at] sewingmachine [dot] com Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine 18 Dingman Rd Sand Lake, NY 12153 http://www.a1sewingmachine.com 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. Beverly |

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. |

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. Steve |

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.... -- Beverly http://ickes.us/default.aspx |

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. -- Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine 18 Dingman Rd Sand Lake, NY 12153 http://www.a1sewingmachine.com |

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 ............ Steve |
