Hi all, Still more questions about my 201. HAven't been able to find a replacement for the thread take up part, so my DH spent an hour or so rigging a metal piece to the broken off arm and it seems like I will eventually be able to thread it and try to sew. But,,,when I plug it in, the motor runs and it seems to drive the needle bar but it is quite slow. Slower than it should be to sew at a reasonable pace.I'm comparing to my 99k and 301 speeds. I have oiled it and still no change. Do you think it's the motor? The mechanisms seem to move freely, just slow.Help! Thanks,
Jane
