We were at the local antique mall and spotted two Singer machines there. One is very old, 1930's and in need of work but with a wooden table. The other is newer, early 50's, with a blond table. We've sent the older machine down to sewingmachinesteve in VA for repair to get it working but the other seems fine except the needle does not go up and down. It appears to be frozen in place. Even with taking the needle out it only goes a tiny bit and stops.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this? Any "mechanic's" out there? My hubby was sure he could fix it but he has a problem turning on a faucet so of course he couldn't and I don't want him to make the matters worse.
By the way, both machines were only $45 and I'll post pictures later.
