I also have a model 413, but mine was made in 1961. The vertical shaft top gear arrived yesterday, and I thought I'd ordered the timing belt, but I got the motor belt by mistake (my error). I'm considering replacing it myself following a tutorial I saw on Ebay.
Any good hints to make my repair job easier? A friend of mine advised taking pictures at each step BEFORE I remove something so I can see how it goes back together.
Funny thing..it has a plastic bobbin case, but the machine had a metal bobbin in it. I don't know why my grandmother didn't use plastic bobbins, but maybe the bobbin was from another machine she had before and just didn't buy any more. The manual does say to use clear plastic bobbins.
