Now why would I do that? It was made in the early 70's. I bought it in a thrift store and talked them into selling it to me for $3.00 as I didn't know if it worked and was missing the foot control/AC adaptor. i was able to locate the foot control/ac adaptor on Ebay $27, and a copy of original manual for $6.00. So $36.00 total for machine. Well it worked, but unfortunately can only sew in reverse. The Reverse lever is there. It just doen't engage, or I should say disengage I guess.
Never took a machine apart. Would all be new to me, and I would have no parts to install anyway. The machine is not one of those special oldie but goodies coveted by some, but it does sew nicely, albet backwards. '
Has anyone ever had an older machine with this malady, that was able to fix it? Would not be worth spending more money on it taking it to a sewing machine shop. Just was wondering if it might be worth my time to take it apart to see what's going on.
