It looks like the needle was hitting the bobbin case but it was fine for two days, what happened? My DH has worked on it but hasn't a clue as to what it needs other than he thinks it needs timed. How do we do that? I found a service manual on line but the pics are so dark it's hard to understand what they are saying. I love to sew on this machine but I guess that's over.
Are you using the 206 style of needle? If you use a 15x1 modern needle it will hit the bobbin case. It doesn't need to be retimed, it just needs the proper needle
