    Thanks for the info. I belong to a few of the yahoo groups but have been absent from them, for awhile, so it looks like I will have to try joining some of the groups again.

    I don't have a manual, yet, but was wondering what the silver knobby-thing (near the zz mechanism) might be. It looks like the stitch length regulator on the very old model 66 that I have. Does it regulate the width of the zig zag?
    I've never seen this kind of zz before and find it quite amazing!

    Yes the vertical thing is stitch length, the round thing is the ZZ width and the thing on the outside of the ZZ width is the needle position.

    If possible, I'd leave the ZZ mechanism in the machine and like others indicate oil the devil out of it. I've removed the mechanism and was originally discouraged but eventually pleased to get it back together. It has been awhile since I worked on it but I remember one process not being intuitive. Once, I figured it out, it went right back together and works so smooth. The 206 and 306 to me are like the ZZ counter part of the 201 - just a joy to use.
