Dave is located in Washington state. He has a comprehensive book and DVD with step by step care and maintenance instructions. I would recommend you getting one or both.

Glenn Williams: http://pages.suddenlink.net/joyof301s/glenn.htm
I have never purchased anything from him, but his name is mentioned in the Yahoo group frequently as someone to go to.
Dave McCallum's book is a must-have. You easily learn how to oil, lube, thread, tension, etc., thus saving a service fee. I sure hope it has the bobbin case as these are $$$. I've ordered from Glenn and he is terrific. FUN, FUN, FUN!
