Miriam; I believe it was the old bulb and not the old hag
working the machine that was the issue there. It took a bit of doing but the metal piece of the bulb out and once I got the new bulb in, the light works fine. Am now playing with the clutch to get the needle to stop moving up and down for winding the bobbin. BTW, I invested the time at the ISMACS site and printed off a manual for the machine - my machine is a bit different but info is still valid. This machine uses the Bernina/FW/301 sized bobbins so I only have 2 to work with at the moment. Tonite I work some more on the clutch and tomorrow I hit the store to see if I get some more bobbins there and a new friction wheel for the motor as mine has a flat spot. The wires are all good and the handwheel moves away from you and not towards you. Happy to answer any further questions anyone might have.
