Some things are fun to do ONCE. I changed the camstack in a Viking 6000 series and the motor pulley in a green Elna Super, both with Ray supervising. I have no plans to do either one again!! I am taking Ray's advanced class again this summer, so who knows what I'll come up with to work on??
You better get busy collecting project machines. I had more than I needed, so let some of the guys have a Singer to change out all 5 plastic gears. They had a blast and learned a lot. I agree, once is enough for some repairs. I have a Viking 5230 that the owner says she thinks is a broken camstack. We shall see. And why are we up so early????
