bobbin wheel not touching
A couple of mine do that...including my fav- my 201. I just lightly press between the bobbin and the bobbin wheel with my finger so it touches while I wind the bobbin. This machine looks like the ones my parents bought for us kids in 1965 at an estate sale. Looked like it had never been used. Had a broken needle. My mother thought the lady used it until the needle broke and never again. Anyway- the gear goes around that sort of heart-shaped disc to wind up and down the bobbin. You can still press to the right of that to push the wheel so it touches. (And I bought a centennial 66-18 on eBay with a bentwood case and she put plastic wrap all around the case and shipped it...the machine was like an anvil inside the case, smashed to smithereens. Just about made me sick. The machine, though, was unharmed, thank goodness, and my SMG (sewing machine guy) was able to sell me a bentwood case with base AND KEY for $30.)
