Today has not been my good sewing machine day. I decided to give up the touch and sew, as oiling it didn't fix the going slow part. I assume it's the motor.

Got out the 201-2 and couldn't get it out of the cabinet easily, so went for the 503.

I got the 503 set up. (I cleaned and oiled it a couple of months ago.) I looked up how to wind the bobbin and then couldn't get the stop motion wheel to unscrew. A couple of strong guys tried to no avail.

I'm finding these old machines aren't as easy as they look.

Any tips on loosening that wheel? Is this a hair dryer thing?
