it looks like you are going to get a new toy. I cannot get the tension bars or pressure bars loose--not enough sunshine today to help will try the hair dryer at home. And neither shuttle plate will move. oh and the thread guide down by the needle is not cooming off either. If i didn't know better i would think this machine had been in a fire and melted tight.
and when i took off the rear inspection plate and roled the wheel nothing is happening--shouldn't something be turning?
