Welcome. It warms my heart for people to sew with machines they have inherited. The
It is a good thing it is different than the one Mickey linked to. I'm pretty sure no one could wind a bobbin with that one. The 'official' name for that decal set is
"Scroll (red)" . While many call it a 'Red Eye,' from my understanding, the Singer employees would refer it to "Red Head" decal set.
Thank you for the picture. I'm going to post pictures differently. You will need to
either click on the thumbnail & when done looking will have to use the "back arrow" to come back to the post.
Or you can right click each thumbnail and open them in a new tab.
Or you can click the linkes below and they will open in a new tab. (At least that is how it works on my computer.)
Last spring I acquired a 66-1 that only had a partial bobbin winder. Interestingly enough, two weeks before, I had gotten a 66 that I actually bought for the case it was in. It had a good bobbin winder, so I switched them. I'm thinking that perhaps if you loosen the screw that I have circled in yellow and adjust the piece (the whole winder) under the screw so that the opening is toward the hand wheel you might have better luck?

and when the bobbin winder is in position for winding the bobbin the wheel will ride on the hub of the hand wheel, not in the n groove for the belt as shown be the right yellow arrow. The left arrow is the position it would be in for winding the bobbin if there was one there.

I saw something the other day about putting what I call broccoli rubber bands over the
bobbin winder tire.
