Well, I removed the hand wheel and cleaned (back of the hand wheel and around the shaft). There was actually quite a bit of dried oil and dirt on the back of the hand wheel. I also had to again re-adjust the disk/cam on the bobbin assembly as the nut had come loose. Put it all back together. I was tickled pink that the bobbin winder worked! It even popped up at the end of filling the bobbin.
It is pedaling smoother also. I now need to spend time un-threaded, so that I better understand syncing the pedal movement with the rotation so that I don't go backwards (which happens easier now that everything is clean).
