So happy to see you are feeling well enough to keep making your fabulous videos. You have so many fans, admirers and well-wishers! ❤ We love you and need you!
Exactly Kevin -- I feel the same watching and listening to Andy. He's funny, soothing and reassuring at the same time -- helping us feel WE CAN DO THIS!
Very happy to see you back at it on the 466. I’m in the middle of a house move and can’t wait to unpack my 467 and finish the restoration. Thanks Andy for taking the time to share your expertise with us. Take care!
Thank you Trevor. Yesterday evening I started looking at the gear and I found some good angles of attack so they'll be some options to get that thing out in a new one in
Andy -- I love your videos. I learn so much and enjoy your excellent presentations, handling of the camera, and editing skills. I have actually sat and listened to nearly 4 hours to your shower method! So fun and educational at the same time. Keep 'em coming!
I get hooked on watching your videos and I learn so much from you. Also, my sewing machine is working better - thank you. (Still watching more of your videos). I was so happy to sew again today ! 🎉😁
Oh my! Always a pleasure to hear your detailed explanation of these amazingly designed machines. I like to look for videos to learn from, yours is the best example. Greetings from Ags, MX.
@@MR-ct8jl I was hoping that was you and I'm very glad that you still watch my channel. It was my pleasure to send the bobbins and I hope the machine is still working well for your lovely wife. God bless you both and take care my friend
@@andytubesewing1953oh yes, the machine is so smooth, curtains and chair covers already done, the motor is very quiet. Yes I always watch your videos looking for small details or simply to remember. We're fine, thank you! Un sincero abrazo a la Sra. y Sr. Tube. Yo sé que usted sabe Español. Saludos siempre!
What an awesome video Andy - you may have been away a little while but you certainly haven't got at all rusty. These videos are as wonderful as ever. Thank you!
Greetings my friend. Like riding a bicycle I guess. I gave away some of my lighting when I thought I'd never be doing videos again. Some scenes look a little dark, but my wife says they are OK. Nice to read your comment, thank you.
Thank you again for sharing your skills with us. Looking forward to Part 2. I have my mom's machine like this one in disrepair. Would love to get it working again.
Speaking of regular screws. Did Singer ever relent and use National Coarse or National Fine or Metric? When I saw that plastic panel I was thinking of those push on spring clips that lots of plastic panels are held on with. They inevitably broke the plastic pins off when prying the clips off. Pretty slick way of removing that type of clip. Are we going to see some "shower time" for this old boy? Thanks Andy.
I remember hearing that when a company bought out Singer, maybe in the 1980s?, they slowly went to National-type screws. No confirmation. I was happy seeing that type of clip. Brilliant, and wish I was the inventor just to have bragging rights. Oh, I've got a long way to go before any showering, but I'll see. Thanks for watching, Ralph, and take care.
Hi Andy, It should come as no surprise in the past you have helped me with problems from vintage singer sewing machines. I was gifted a Brother VX2150 (not sure the year 70's - 80's). I'd like to find manuals (operating / parts / service) and also I have a broken part (cross arm on bobbin spool). Do you know anyone who can help me with any or all of these items for this brand of sewing machine. Suffice it to say, I found no support on the Brother Web-site for this model. Thanks for any help. Glad to see you're feeling up to servicing you latest "wife sponsored" machine.
I don't know anything about Brother Machines. I can't even find a reliable picture of a VX2150. None of my manual sources have any documents for that model number. The largest parts seller in the country does not list that model number. Just nothing out there, Sherri. Are you sure of the model number?
@@andytubesewing1953 Hi Andy, I'm so sorry, I did switch up the model number. The correct model is VX2051. More importantly, Brother Customer Support emailed me a manual. No I just hope they can help me with a part or a part number. Thank you again for your time. Have a nice day.
Thank you, sir, for these explanations, but I have a problem with the Singer 457 sewing machine that makes a sound and the needle does not move.... Where is the problem please sir
That is not much information. If the handwheel turns but the needle won't move then hold the handwheel in left hand while turning the big chrome knob to the right until tight. Try is now. If the handwheel won't even turn I would oil the machine as shown in the manual. www.singer.com/search/support?title=457 Here are a few videos for model 457: th-cam.com/play/PLsCOZgzzaiKK9GeuGLCo6ZyWv-HbheRVK.html
@@MohamedMohamed-cn7hk I tried to give you a lot of help. Did you try when I suggested with the hand wheel? Did you loosen the chrome knob? Can you put the machine and bob and winder mode and run the motor and just the hand wheel? I understand the machine doesn't so I get that but I can't fix it through the internet and I'm a thousand miles away so you going to have to help me help you. Did you look at any of the videos I suggested? Please please please. You can even make a video with your cell phone and put it on your TH-cam channel so we can see what's going on
Thank you sir, but I think I am damaged and there is no hope to fix it. Nima, I watched all her videos, but to no avail, as she never moves when pressing on the treadmill. Thank you, sir, for all your explanations.
Just went to your “about” page looking for a possible Patreon link. I did however find a PayPal link and am honored to help support your channel! Wish I had found this long ago! Would love it if you set up a Patreon account so my donations can be done automatically. I’m sure you have many fans who would be eager to support your channel! ❤❤❤
Thanks for your donation. I don't know about the link you're talking about, but I'll try to check it out. And thanks for letting me know about it. I appreciate you watching my channel
@@andytubesewing1953 I just Googled how to set up a Patreon account and that should help you set up an account. There are different levels for patrons to sign up for. I would love to see you get financial support to keep making great VSM content! Please post and let us know when it is set up! So glad you are interested!💗💗💗
I wanted to support Andy so thank you for pointing him to Patreon. Andy makes my day and I'm learning so much about restoring the Singer 478 from my teenage years!
I posted a comment on Facebook 301 page about your being back and creating more videos on TH-cam. There are over 120 💗s & 🤙🏻s in less than 24 hours! Could you please post your email? I tried the link on your “about” page and it didn’t work. Ty!
Wow, thanks very much for that! 🙏 I respond to about 50 emails and comment per day, more on weekends, so I struggle to stay caught up. Only subscribers can see the email address on the about page. Thanks for watching my channel.
Every AndyTube video earns the viewer another PHD.

Great job Andy! Removing all that brittle 60 year old plastic with no casualties was a thing of beauty
Thank you Gary. Easy does it right?
Love your videos. Good to see one of these "newer" old machines being restored. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks very much and I don't envy you doing a house move. Hope it all goes well for you
Brilliant Andy, loads of information for me to start on my singer 466. Trevor from the banks of the river Mersey England..
Thank you Trevor. Yesterday evening I started looking at the gear and I found some good angles of attack so they'll be some options to get that thing out in a new one in

No thank you so much!
Shame, welcome to the world of plastic. Nice video Andy.
Yes, a real shame the beginning of the end for Singer. Now we seem to have an ocean full of.
❤ I learned so much! Thanks 😊 Yall!
thanks for your interest. I appreciate you watching.
Thanks to you Andy and to Terry Fielding for the tip on removing the stitch length dial. I'll be trying that.
Thank you, Terry. It worked really well. I owe a lot of knowledge to Terry Fielding.
Your explanations are very easy to understand. Thank you very much!
That's very kind of you to say so. Thanks so much for watching my channel
You are doing a great job, Andy!
Thank you! 🙏
Great instruction. Thanks Andy!
Thanks for watching, Dennis.
Thank you again for sharing your skills with us. Looking forward to Part 2. I have my mom's machine like this one in disrepair. Would love to get it working again.
Thank you for watching. I'm going to start storyboarding part 2 today and hope to have it showing how to replace the gear
Yay! Love your videos!
Thank you very much, Robin
Wonderful video. Thank you!
