I do have the slide for the bobbin. This is not my picture. I am not too savy with getting things out of my phone so I used this picture from elsewhere on the net. Sorry, but was the only way to get it in the post I knew of. Sometimes we technical are not so technical. Mine is in the same shape though and needs a complete rewire, which that I have done before so am not afraid of it. The wires crumbled the minute I touched them. THe rest of the machine is in pretty good order from what I can tell. Thank you everyone that replied. I am so happy to have people actually get back to me!!
