Please see pictures below that show the mechanism in both activated and disabled state. Does anyone have experience with this type of mechanism or model?
In one picture i labeled the 3 parts of the mechanism with A, B and C. Should all parts move with the axis they are sitting on when it is in disabled state or should B not be moving at all? The manual doesnt say that this part should be oiled so I guess all should be moving with axis all the time?
Thank you in advance for any input on this beauty of a machine :-).
Hope you all have a happy new year,
best regards from Austria,

Welcome to the board. I am not familiar with this machine. Many similar machines won't drop the feed dogs wen he arm won't move the lever you have going to B. Yours is working there. (YAY) so I would take off the bobbin slide and see if you can lube and clean all around the feed dogs proper and see what is supposed to move that isn't under there. Great pictures. by the way.
