Thanks, bkay. I feel that I cleaned it well. But I’m going to hit it everyday because, like you said, things can free up on their own with time. I’ve seen archaic arcane just today for the first time. Saw one of her videos, but I’ll go back. Thanks for your link. I’ll take a look.
Seems like that paddle will swing the needle if I move it manually. When I get it to work properly I’ll post here. Otherwise, if you are reading this thread and I haven’t solved it, I’m officially still scratching my head ;’)
