Default 306k Jam - Timing Hook issue

Hi all

Pls can any of you help with a problem with a 306.

I sold my 306k with its original manual and it was a perfect machine having been serviced regulatly by my singer osmg with 50yrs+ experience. I only sewed with the correct needles for this machine..

I specifically told buyer to use only correct needles for 306.....you know what's coming.....she didn't and she jammed the machine.

She tried sorting but dropped a screw right in needle shaft arm.

So she called a local to her man who proported to be a osmg. He supposedly fixed it but about 30 mins after it's jammed again. She wrote this:

I think it's the time hook I've just payed him £80 to fix it and he hasn't. For some reason it keeps slipping so the needle hits the spool case I think it needs a new time hook if this the case that sewing man knew this.

I've got a photo she sent me of what she describes as "catching"....just seeing how to upload it.

She's a lovely lady and I'd like to be able to help and give her info that she needs to get this lovely machine working again.

Really sorry that you are having this trouble - especially as you informed her about the correct needles to use. I am sorry but I cannot help, I'm afraid.
