Since I can't figure out how to search in a thread I'll ask my question here. The New Home VSIIB I'm restoring has a bobbin winder "rubber" wheel. It touches the handwheel to spin.
The material is like an old shiny eraser now. No friction. I can't unscrew it to put a new one on. What do I do? Without a new ring the machine is unable to wind bobbins.
I love this thread. It has taught me a lot. So, good people, what are your suggestions?
