Hoping your machine is in great shape with a good shuttle and all this information is not needed.

Wow Jon, great information to keep on hand. I remember hunting for a shuttle for my DVF because I thought the reason I couldn't get my DVF pre 1900 machine to pick up the shuttle thread was because I thought I needed a new shuttle. I hunted and finally found a shuttle that actually said Davis on the shuttle and it was priced at $50! Now, if I need a shuttle I'll remember to check out the Minnesota's shuttle!
