Ok, dear QB members, that 'beautiful' lavendar Necchi machine is mine. I could not get it to free up and did not have the knowledge to remove the top gears and look further into the machine. I took it to Grant at Sew Restore and he has posted his results. He put alot of work into this and has it up and runing for me.
I have no idea what you are talking about 'making a part'. can you elaborate on this. is this going to be cost effective to make per part (I have 3 with cracks in them). would this be something that once made, other parts can be made like them? would this benefit the Necchi world of vintage machines? I hear of not buying a Necchi Lola , I think, due to cracking in the cam shaft rendering the machine non-functioning. why has someone not cast one of these parts for the Necchi. this would save alot of machines. or is this not cost effective.
