Was it an OSMG (Old Sewing Machine Guy) at the shop that told you the timing mechanism was worn out? I am wondering perhaps they did not have anyone there who knew how to time your machine. Don't give up on your sewing machine. If you can post a pic of your machine or give us the serial number we can try to help you bring her back to functionality.

Get J Miller on the phone; I bet he can walk you through it. I have a repairman here in TN who comes to my home and fixes six at a time for me for $180. Best thing that ever happened to both of us. He comes when he can, and I watch and learn. His full-time living "job" is repairing commercial machines for factories all over TN, etc. It is sometimes hard to catch him though; so I just stack them up and wait for him, he can't work on the new computerized machines, but he can sure get an old-timer back up and humming. Love, love, love him.

Picked up the machine and he said the whole shaft along the bottom needed to be replaced. He said this machine looked like it worked a lot. I bought it from an upholsterer so it was probably sewing heavy duty stuff it wasn't made for. He said if I find another machine he will service it for me. He didn't charge the $70 dollars. So I am on the hunt again and maybe keep this one for spare parts.

Seriously though, can you post a pic of the bottom of this supposedly worn out machine?
