Thx Leon, I've read online about this and hopefully doesn't put me off the machine if it tends to happen regular but i expect routine maintenance will keep it in check [img]images/smilies/thumbup.png[/img]
Anyways, a quick update on the FW i purchased back in Jan (not long after signing up here lol impulse buy i think). I finally got round to ordering & receiving the following parts today ;
1. Belt
2. Motor Brushes & Cap Screws
3. Foot Controller & Bed replacement rubber feet.
4. Light socket & bulb
5. Felt Drip Pad
6. New wiring for foot controller
Everything been done now with the exception of re-greasing/oiling which will follow a cuppa. Haven't sewed on it other than testing but damn....it's so quiet and very impressed with the stitch quality. I can see the appeal many people have with them. Just waiting on a delivery of some more fabric & hard to get elastic so perfect timing to try out the FW shortly.
Thanks all for the previous comments...appreciated.
