White Rotary Owners: Please help
I have a "new" White Rotary treadle and I got her all cleaned up and running smoothly. The only problem I am having it to get it threaded and the bobbin wound. I have the manual, but I am a very visual learner and the manual makes no sense to me. Would any of you White owners be willing to take a video of you threading your machine and winding the bobbin? I would REALLY appreciate it.

Here is a picture of how the bobbin winder threads. You put your spool of thread on the spool pin closest to the hand wheel. Hook the thread under the first little slot and then up into the lower slot and down to the bobbin. Put your thread into the little hole in the side of the bobbin from inside to outside and then put the bobbin onto the bobbin winder, hold your thread. Pull the bobbin winder up and then slip the treadle belt behind it so that it rides on the belt.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]471663[/ATTACH]Here is a pic of my handwheel, I'm not sure why it keeps posting sideways. You can see if you look close that the teeth that you were showing is actually on the back side not on the same side as the bobbin wheel.

Hey SteveH,
One, how on earth did you get that photo to turn? And two, I don't suppose you might be able to do that also with the how to thread the machine? That makes so much sense to me when you did that. I have a pic of that too.[ATTACH=CONFIG]471679[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]471680[/ATTACH]Here's a pic of the front too.
The spool pin plate was on backwards, but was really easy to turn around. This is what it looked like from above before I turned it around.[ATTACH=CONFIG]471681[/ATTACH]

OK so it's the same set up as those I have. Wasn't sure so I was keeping mum.
Here's some more pics to go with the one SteveH posted.

This is for the White DRESSMASTER. Looks to be almost identical to the White FR.

This is my Kenmore 117-720, a White made rotary. With the exception of the top thread guide the threading is the same as the FR.

A close up of the check spring.
