As a complete novice this is startling news to me! We gave my daughters a Singer 401A and a Singer 500, thinking they were all metal and would last ages. I didn't see any plastic gears while cleaning, oiling and lubricating them...but didn't dare to take the machines completely apart. Are they hidden deeper inside?

Good luck getting your wife's beloved but cranky 538 back in the game!
