Newly aquired 301a; bobbin case not dislodging from rotary hook assembly
The machine is running but has been stored for a long time in a basement will little attention. It needs a good cleaning then oiling. But it isn't real dirty so won't take much to clean. My problem is that the bobbin case won't come out. It has a bobbin in it and the machine did sew stitches when I tried it out. I noticed the thread from the bobbin area has a little rust every so often on it. I have pulled all the thread out and am lifting the latch on the bobbin case and it won't come out. It rotates like it should but just won't pull out. Think the bobbin is rusted to something? I have put sewing machine oil in there and tried to work it loose. And I have tried wd-40 and still wont' come out. Any and all suggestions are welcome! I can't wait to get this machine up and running!
