New to me 401A
Here is the 401A that my son gave me for Christmas. He was so proud of the fact that he found it during one of his Saturday morning treasure hunts and saved it until Christmas for me. I love it, but have already found a couple of faults with it. I decided to piece a square with it, and that was a mistake because I am so spoiled by my FW's work. I finished the square with it, but it is going into the repair area to be worked on. I cleaned and oiled it good, the best I know how, but it didn't help the performance of the little thingy on the back of the head that you raise and lower the presser foot with. It is HARD to work. I can't just reach through and raise or lower the presser foot--I have to really grunt and work at it to make it work. That got aggravating after awhile and I almost quit on it. But I did finish it, with a decision being made to get a GS over here to help me load a picture, so y'all can help me through this problem.
So, help please. I'll run off copies of your advice, and get to the job when I get back from Texas.
