No Brenda. It is still in status quo. There have been so many other projects to work on. My DD has the sewing machine at her home. Perhaps sometime soon we can work on removing the shaft and get it straightened. Do you have the 96-10 maintenance manual? It is available as a PDF download at this link

Might help you figure out your problem.
These old industrial machines were "rode hard and put away wet" so it is a challenge to get them running again. I am lucky that I have a very good OSMG that diagnosed the problem with my 96-10. Good luck with yours.
