Hi there I just bought a BUSM #6

Hiya I just bought one of these machines a few days back for an absolute steal and I was wondering if there's anyone out there who could help me to figure out why the shuttle thread isn't catching on the needle thread to create stitches? I've spent hours dicking around and getting everything else on it cleaned, greased and aligned properly but this one is completely eluding me.

Also any tips on how to wind thread for the shuttle and what to do with the reservoir at the top and back of the machine as well as any other tips or tricks would be seriously appreciated.

Much Love

Luke
