ummm, we are more about showing you how to do it yourself. they are not that hard at all to do and a hometuned machine is more likely correct than a storetuned machine

I've been collecting and repairing for maybe a year. This message board and other Yahoo groups have helped me to the point of fearlessness. I've rewired motors, replaced needle bars and unfroze a 15-125 with only oil and a hair dryer. Again, if game, ask this group a specific question and give doing your own repairs a try. You'll get hooked, I guarantee.:eek::cool: Try this thread - http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...v-t167789.html |
I see while I was typing my long winded reply one of the knowledgeable go-to guys answered the same but much more succinctly.

I use the guy in Stonecrest, near the Target. He is great, Lee's creative sewing and Vacuum. It is at 7868 Rea road 704-542-8760. I have bought 2 machines from him and as a side note, his dad was a Singer repairman for years so it runs in the family.

I noticed in your reply to Rck that you once had a Necchi BU and that the only thing you could not unfreeze was the feed dog drop. I have the same problem with my Necchi. I purchased it at a thrift store and works fine except for the feed dog drop. It sits on the right side of the machine and is a silver knob with a screw in the side of the knob. Do you have any idea how I might go about solving this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Lucy

As an after thought, does anyone recommend a compound to repair broken pot metal? |
