For Japanese machines, we also use

and
http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...s-t207880.html
and

This is old but it comes up on occasion:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...t-t174236.html - I'm sure there could be 40 more links tagged on to that one if someone wanted to take the time.

This comes up and I think there are an assortment of other threads on the same topic - I'm not sure where they all are: http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...s-t160607.html

Arctic has a lot of real nice trouble shooting and repair info on her blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzFX...AyBQ2l-Mzkw7ew video on re-assembling a tension

Muv has a lot of info on the long bobbin on her blog page. There are links to that on the sticky with her cleaning info.

There is a whole lot more info on here that is harder to find. The search comes up with way too much selection to narrow down what a person needs some times.

The information Glenn has posted about caring for the finish on the old machines should be on the sticky as well:

http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...r-t235747.html
http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...s-t109859.html

A lot of times you can search google to find just about as much information/videos as your pea brain can hold on to. It is not difficult to search and find good information.

Other things that comes up almost daily are how do I find a manual for XXX machine? How old is my machine? What is my machine worth? Is this too much to pay for XXX machine? A lot of time is spent by QB members answering those questions daily. A lot of space is taken up by those same questions almost daily. For information, Google is your friend... I almost think if there is a new sticky about anything nobody will read it anyway.
