I bought a machine at an auction and it has AJ510157 on the model plate which appears to translate to a 99 or a 201 model. I have downloaded the manual and finally got the needle in right and it sews OK. I oiled it in all the places it identifies. But it is really loud! Is that something I should expect or is it possible I have something not set up right? Any ideas?
