They all spark a little bit. It's caused by carbon build up arching between the brushes and the armature. Unless the motor isn't running right I just ignore it.

Put that bobbin cover back on, it looks neglected like that. And, if the spring on the plate is broken they can be replaced. My LSMG has replacement springs so I suspect yours might too....

A cam stack? Well if you can call it that. It has one three lobed cam just about half way between the presser foot bar and the button hole control knob towards the back.

Caroline,

You better keep that SEWMOR 606 away from me. I'll stick it up under my shirt and make off with it. It's a perfect match to my S M 404.

Oh Yeah! I've been toying with an idea I haven't told anyone about yet. Since I like the Singer 66 but prefer a back tack or reverse, and the 66s with a back tack don't have a stitch length...
