Miriam,
Correctomundo. This machine was out of adjustment before I got it. I got it to the point it would actually sew without bending and breaking needles only to find it had an interference problem between the reverse lever and the cam on the main horizontal shaft.
Tried a few things but ended up bending something. Machine is semi-locked up now. I've had so many other things come up I haven't had the time to get back to it.
One of these days.
Joe
