    Hears a link with information on their inkjet and laserjet decal paper and how to do it. I'm willing to give it a try. The paper is kind of expensive, but worth a try. I'm still amazed by the ability...

    The seller was sincerely apologetic, and is refunding a partial. I talked to him on the phone, and said maybe if her wants to sell something like that, sell the case and head seperately. Either that...

    You're right there of course. I've even thought, it might not cost that much more, cause the case is light, and not that fragile by itself. I think I was hoping, somewhat optimistically, that this...

    And yet again, I will get the opportunity to repair shipping damages!

    A National handcrank, branded "Maywood". So I contacted the seller prior to bidding, asking if he would agree to my packaging recommendations. He didn't quite get it. Here's the listing pictures< I...

    And the little finger that locates the front of the shuttle can be tighter than thread wants to pass or too loose. The side detent finger also plays a part as does the detent at aft end of bobbin. I...

    she's back together, I need to iron out a loss of stitch quality resulting from removing the shuttle carrier, cleaning it up and re-installing it. It's more critical than a worn shuttle, I learned...

    All's well that ends well!

    Actually this machine arriving in shambles, (see OP), was okay, it gave me the impetus to get in there and work on things I might not have done, and learn some lessons along the way. The wooden case...

    the other side, a GREAT packaging job, almost overkill!!

    So if I'm going to vent about the bad ones, I need to give credit for a great one! This seller kept insisting in PMs that he would honor my wishes except that he would be using green popcorn. Went...

    But the New National was definitely NOT a total loss!

    I puttered with her for a few hours this morning. She went from being hard to turn, rusty and filthy, to looking pretty decent (except for the walnut base which I still have to reglue). And it spins...

    it wasn't really a buffer between 2 boxes, it was just a flattened box used to cover up the fact that the walls of the carton were in no way thick enough to hold the weight. I don't know what they...
