Hi All,

This is a great thread! Thank you!!!

I just completed gear replacement and timing on my 457 but the needle
position lever is sort of "off" by one notch. The needle is centered but
the selector is on "R". If I move the lever to "C", the needle will move left.

I can't do zig-zag becuase the needle will hit the presser foot and break.

I purchased the service manual but I am having a hard time understanding
the procedure for adjusting the needle position selector. No matter what I do
I can't seem to center the needle with the lever on "C".

I also have the "bobbin rattle" that <misseva> mentioned some time ago.

Sews great in straight-stitch! Thanks in advance for any help!
