the Hi Folks
Here is my update on my Singer 201. Well Rains was right, we did take short cuts by trying to use the old brushes and insulating the existing wires in the motor. After we started over with fresh brushes and fresh wires the motor was purrring like a kitten. In fact when I threaded her and got her sewing it almost seems like the motor is funning faster than the machine can sew. I get the impression that the motor is racing but the machine can't or won't sew that fast.
My next project on this machine is to work on the tension assembly. I know that there should be some wiggling going on in the disc area but it is really loose and doesn't seem write.
Thanks to all for your help
