The blue 301A arrived, but with a problem
I am so pleased with how fast this machine arrived, and the paint job seems superb, but the bobbin assembly is not right. I've contacted the seller, but I'm posting here in hopes it is an easy fix. If I can get this fixed, I'll post some pics of my new housemate!
The bobbin case was out of the machine when I unpacked it (not unusual). When I tried to insert it, it wouldn't go in. The ring on the bobbin assembly on the machine is very loose and rotates. I have a Featherweight 221 with the same assembly, so I know this piece should be static. I also have a 15-91, which I realize has a different mechanism, but the inner ring on that is also static.
I'm attaching two pics showing the piece I mean. The lever I am touches rotates almost a complete circle, and is very loose. Is there a way to easily fix this or is it a serious problem. I've never taken a bobbin assembly completely apart before.
