Broken Morse 2500
This is the first time I've bought an antique sewing machine, but I found this one for $2 since the store didn't know if it worked or not. When I tested it out, the motor would run, but it only brought the needle up before it stoped moving although the motor kept trying. I'm not sure what's broken in it, so any advice as to what is causing it would be appreciated, thanks!

Ignore under the wheels. Check to see if the chrome wheel in this pic is tight against the outer wheel. turn it clockwise while holding the outer wheel to snug it.

Unlike in that photo, mine only has one belt connecting the motor and hand wheel. The clutch disc was tightened when I first tested it out. I'm not sure where to find the chrome wheel though
Edit: Just got the hand wheel to do a full rotation. It sticks a bit but it moves now. Tried with the foot pedal again and it just stops at the same place the hand wheel was sticking at

yea, That's why I said ignore under the wheel. Few machines have a 2 belt drive.
Don't try electricity until you can get it to go through the sticking place. Have you taken the top off and oiled everything that moves...or should? have you cleaned and oiled in the bobbin area? Thread nests?
