I'm thinking the bobbin area was pretty rusted - did you get it to move? I was thinking it might need a new shuttle to work - I still have some parts machines...

Aaaaaah, Okkkkkk. So my image of a wild-eyed desperado was not accurate. Good! I was a little worried there.

I feel better already.

Miriam,

Yes I got the bobbin and it's parts freed up. That just took a small tap with a brass rod to jar it loose. The case with the hinged latch will have to be replaced eventually. One of the hinges is broken. But I'm in no hurry, I have to get it clean and retimed to see if it will sew again before I put any money into it.
