I had to make the video into two parts because it was so long 😅
Thank you for this - it's my model that has been sitting awhile and need some attention!
you also need to open the bottom plate to oil and clean there
Thanks for this. My 94 year old grandmother just gave me this exact machine to hopefully repair. It's her favorite and she was very upset when it stopped working recently. It seems to have seized up as the knob is incredibly hard to turn by hand. I'm pretty sure she was just oiling it wrong all these years as she was using a spray to oil it. I don't think she ever knew about these oiling points, but I can clearly see them.
I just ordered some sewing machine oil and a similar oiling bottle to what you have.
That's awesome! A bottle will go a long way too, Happy Sewing!
The front piece can be unscrewed from the bottom. You are missing a lot of places to clean and oil without showing it with the front cover off.
you should get a tripod. It holds the phone while you record. If you haven’t already
I'm saving up for one 💚
When I took the screws off and opened the top, there’s this black dust looking stuff. Any idea what it is and how to clean it?
As long as it's not the grease, (which is something you want to keep!!) If it's just plain oil or dirt,I would just use a micro fiber rag and do what you can do to clean it off. If it's actually dusty, you can just blow into it, if it's an old machine. Some people use spray can air but this is only okay for old machines not for new. The black stuff just might be old oil. Also, if it's old oil you can wipe that off. Of course you'll have to reoil.
@@TheWoodburningWarrior Hello! I realized the black stuff I was talking about was actually shavings from a wheel on the top spindle (new sewer so i think that’s what it’s called). do you think this is due to the machine not being oiled enough? Thanks for your help!
Edit: just rewatched your video and you called it the bobbin wheel
How loose are tight the belt should be?
When you say the belt, do you mean the belt to the hand wheel? That I do not know unfortunately.
