Thanks, the pitman actually came out really quick and easy. It surprised the heck out of me...
Cathy came over last night to help me to try and get her sewing. Fun but no success.

It will make a loop every time,
It will pick up the loop occasionally

I have scans of the original manual, and an 1880's serviceman's manual for sewing machines which goes into some detail about timing and repair of most of the old brands including the G&B. Cathy and I are both researching to see if we can figure out what we are missing.
