I don't know how to use this site I just joined today. I have a Hilton deluxe machine. Model 766 and I would like to use it but I need a operating manual, would I be able to get some help from someone here.
sorry to bother you.

Is it a clone or something more complicated? A picture would help identify the machine. reading info:

Thread regulator screw question
 
Hello everyone, I am new to this site - I usually just read posts and use the info from them! I do have a question, I am restoring a May 19, 1925 Singer Sphinz. I am wondering if the thread regulator screw comes off for easy cleaning? It won't turn, and thought I would ask before forcing it. Thanks! Anna

NOPE don't pull it out. They are a pain to put back together. You can pull it part way out and clean the threads. If you oil it it will oil the works when you get it back in.

Good morning, I have another cleaning question....What is a good way to clean the grooves in the various screws? I have the awesome MAAS cream, but a toothbrush doesn't seem to want to get down in the deep places. Suggestions, please?

Thanks SteveH. I'm sure my husband has some of that in the garage!
