Now the trick will be to find someone who can make sense of this machine and keep it from being melted down.....it does seem solidly made and worth preserving.

You're welcome Dianne, but I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. In hundreds of machines, I've never had to fix feed timing: It can't go off unless the belt or linkages break. Hook timing is different: It is easy to set because it can wander.
It might be easy to fix, but if everything needed to be adjusted or tightened I think you have an infinite source of potential problems. I know someone probably did all this by fiddling or disassembling, but I'd call it a machine that wants to die and it will give you hell if you try and stop it.
