It seems there is a lot of gunky ,orangish buildup in the bobbin case area, and essentially all over.I believe it's old oil. What should I use to clean the gunky stuff off. I don't really want to do the entire dismantle , if I don't have to.. What gets this old oil/greasy mess off without damaging the machine or finish? Thanks much, Jane Nancy Billy |
BoJangles, thanks for the reply. I have one machine. On the Singer site I looked at the chart with the serial numbers and in the last column it said "C series". I wasn't sure I was looking in the right place for my serial number G598363. Where did you find the info that you found so I can go look for myself and know next time I am looking in the right place?

Hello! I have a quick question and didn't know whether or not you might be able to help me.
I recently inherited a Bernina 530-2 from my grandmother. I've opened up the entire machine for a cleaning and an oiling, both of which went very well. However, the instruction manual mentions needing to oil the motor and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the darn thing open! It may be worth mentioning that I have a machine with a European power source, since she purchased it in England. She used to have my Granddad open things up for her and oil them, but unfortunately he recently passed. |

Does anyone have the link to the needle chart that lists all the machines and the different needle manufacturers? I can't find the link!

Hope somebody can tell me something good. I found this 319w at a garage sale this morning. It was marked $2, but the bobbin case is missing, and no accessories, so I only paid $1. It is pretty neat though.

Oh, thank you! I knew I wasn't reading something right! I didn't know to click on the red "G". Thanks again.

My New Home is one of them, along with the Singer 9W, and the Davis. I hope Miz Johnny reads this post, as she or Billy probably could shed some light on your machine. Nancy |
