You guys ROCK!!!! There is a tiny hole on the winder, but I followed Shelumas advice, tipped the machine up, wrapped a heavy towel to protect finish and put two tiny shots of WD40 on the winder shaft and its spinning like a top now!!! YEAHHHHHH I have sold the machine, but I have learned so much in the process. Have bookmarked Rains blog and I so appreciate your help!
