I have just restored a New Home 960 sewing machine (See Photo) and it now produces lovely stitches (See Photo) However, whilst I realise that oscillating machines tend to be quite noisy, I think this is more so. I have identified excessive tolerance in a square pinion where it connects to a fork component (See Photo) and I wondered if it had been inserted incorrectly at the manufacturing stage. As the component looks quite square, shout it have been fitted on the opposite faces.
Clearly, I don’t want to remove and refit if the tolerances and thus noise is normal in these sewing machines. Any help or suggestions would be welcomed.
