The repairman said that the "bushings" were bad and if used it could start a fire.
The serviceman is a guy with a day job that services machines for a local quilt shop on the side. He's probably never worked on older machines before. He has been kind enough to come to my house twice to fix my HQ 16... the second time was at no charge. He didn't charge me anything for trying to service Mom's machine either. Nice guy...
