I also cleaned up another old machine in BEAUTIFUL shape - I shot a pic of the bottom but forgot to shoot the pretty part - the whole machine looks like new. I get a little scared when I see a machine that looks like new. This one had a piece of fabric stuck with the needle down. I got that out - no problem. I cleaned out massive amounts of red lint. Then I oiled it up and plugged it in. The tension was wacky tight on the bobbin. The bobbin and case kept falling out - seems to be a very common problem - maybe it is user error. I changed out the bobbin just in case it was bent or warped and it was better as long as I keep the take up lever up when I put the bobbin in. Threads can get caught blocking the case from going in correctly - suppose to click in - even then sometimes it popped out. Anyway since I totally forgot to get a pic of the top I'm showing off a pic of the bottom.
