We know, or we think we know, what's wrong with the problem child. Just haven't had the money, ambition, time, and desire to fix it all at the same time.

What do you think is wrong with it? A lot of the fixes are very simple. I have a lot of spare parts...
Cathy, OK - I stole 30 seconds to do a test last night on the machine after working in the yard all weekend. With a stabilizer, it gets rid of 90 - 95% of the tunneling. I
think the rest is tension, since there's still a lot of the top thread on the bottom. I hope to get a chance to look at it today or tomorrow. I sure would love a gauge for checking tension like you can get for the long arms. Then, I'd know I was starting out at the right point, instead of "slightly perceptible tension".. with the aches and pains in my shoulders from the yard this weekend, the air has slightly perceptible tension this morning.
Guess that winter made me slower and softer than usual.
