vintagemotif,

Thanks. Those are some interesting cams. But, nothing like the set we're trying to ID.

~Big ol' KOTC~ (Kiss on the cheek) Thanks Skip!!

Now...in that same thread, would you repost your tute of the cabinet work?

Joe, why don't you post a picture of your mystery cams? I have an Elna and a recently acquired MW that use cams.

Wow, very nice!

I am trying to locate info on a Brother xv710 but it seems the info is scarce to none. Anyone know anything about it? I would really like to know what year it was manufactured.

If you post the cams, then most likely someone here may know to what machine they belong to, and we can help you solve your mystery.

Heehee, I'm off topic again. I watched American Idol tonight, and I got a hoot out of Steven Tyler. First, I loved his shirt. Second, I loved his comment, " brilliantly awkward". I get a kick out of his wordage.

I don't know if I'm having a senior moment or a blonde moment, and I'm neither blonde or yet a senior citizen.
Today while looking for tailor chalk in my one sewing machine cabinet, I came across directions for the hopping spring. Cathy had given me the spring, but I don't even remember Cathy giving me the directions to the spring that night. We had been chatting about all the darning feet for FMQ and posting the photos of the springs onto QB that I may not have noticed the directions.

Weird things do happen in the drawers of vintage sewing machine cabinets. Sometimes parts for one machine, not the machine that is in the cabinet, can be found in the cabinet drawers...which leads to the next machine- at least that is what has happen to me numerous times.

Anyhow, here are the directions to the hopping spring that was found in my Two Spools cabinet...like why in the heck would I use my Two Spools for FMQ. I think I'll blame it on the vintage sewing machine spirits...they like to mess with us.

Another question about this Universal...(I took the motor in to work and showed the maintenance man who willingly took it home to solder the new wires). Meanwhile, I've now taken the foot pedal apart and found a broken wire there. Here is the senario...a white ceramic piece holds six coiled wires wrapped (through a hole) from one side to the other with connectors which, when pressing the foot controller down, a metal piece runs over these connectors to make the machine run, faster and faster (my assumption). One of these coiled wires was broken, black, brittle. What would happen if I just remove that wire? The rest look in great shape. I have no idea what type wire (copper?) nor where to find it. We have a small motor repair place in the next town. I'm wondering if I should pay them a visit??
