I am clueless as to the use for these attachments and I don't even know if they are complete or if they are assembled correctly.....I do have a 66 so once I have a set of attachments for my machine I would be happy to help out anyone else with their needs.....while at yet another auction I bought this box for $5.00...each and every one of the smaller boxes inside are chock full of attachments....I will post a couple of photos....Is there somewhere else on this site where I can post a large number of photos of all of the attachments?

I have 2 other model 66, one electric and another treadle, however the bobbin winder is made differently.

If you know of a tute or picture I missed, please let me know.

I don't know if these pics will help you or not. I haven't taken my machine completely apart yet, and it may be the wrong type of bobbin winder. If it's the right one, let me know and I'll try to get better pictures. (Now I'm almost afraid to take mine apart.)

I was at an auction a couple of weeks ago and I bought a box of misc. sewing supplies for a whopping $2.00---this little box was in the larger box....it appears to be an attachment box of some sort. I have never seen anything like this. Can anyone out there tell a little something about it?

I will take them off your hands if they will fit a 66-1 Glenn

No it is not the same. See the piece that holds the parts of the bobbin winder (the black piece shaped like a "Y") that is the piece I broke on my other machine but found a replacement. This piece is silver metal on mine with a notch on the left for a screw.

The top piece that attaches to the shaft itself is not on my bobbin winder at all.

Some how I have to attach the "Y" piece along with the top thread guide and top that holds the bobbin in place to the shaft. I just can't figure it out.

From my experience, I will NEVER take another bobbin winder apart. I will clean as best as I can on the machine! They don't agree with me, obviously. :cry:

I took mine apart to clean it thoroughly thinking it was the same as my other 66 treadle but this one doesn't have the black piece for the bobbin winder but a steel one. I goes together differently. I have most of it put back but can't figure out the rest. It is made differently than the other treadle.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, Billy I did it again!

Jan, does it look like this?
