Bent Doesn't Mean It's Broken
i was cleaning my singer 66-1 bobbin assembly (this is the dirtiest, grimiest machine i have worked on) and noticed that the bobbin case fin is kinda bent. duhhhh, it's not bent, it's normal. so i took a plier and tried hard to straighten it and guess what - i broke it. thought this is SS or metal at least but it looks like it's cast metal. oh well expensive lesson for me.
parts are full of oil gunk that alcohol will not even melt them. so i have to scrape it and use steel brush. i bet you the previous owner must have drenched it with 3-1 oil. it's not moving freely as i speak. it seems that it's hitting on something but i am trying to soak them in oil first.
anyone has extra parts ?? and this one is also missing the back clamp presser feet. PM me pls if you do have the bobbin case and presser feet for 66-1. thanks.
