Thanks Dayle. I have sewn many hours on this machine. The only thing that went wrong with it was the bobbin winder disengage wheel. For years I had to wind the bobbin with the needle in motion until I married my DH. One day I was praising the machine and said too bad I couldn't fix the wheel. He came over and unscrewed the outside tightening knob, I took it apart and cleaned it put it back together and has worked every since. Leave it to a man! The other thing was the bobbin winder tire disintegrated and had to be replaced. It has been the best.
