Thank you JMiller. I live almost at the end of the world when it comes to buying supplies. I got the last of them by mail day before yesterday. I read and copied to a usb drive, the article by Mr Rains. I have taken the motor apart and totaly rewired it, put in new oil wicks. I have it all back together now and it sews beautifully. I was a little afraid to do this on my own, but my dh has such tremors that he can not do things like this any more.
