    I have removed and cleaned out the two gear boxes on my CONSEW 206RB.  I watched a vid that showed adding some grease before reassembly, but was wondering if it wouldn't be easier to added the grease after putting the boxes together.  The top box has an opening on the top that I could and the grease through and the lower gear box has a screw that can be removed to check the grease that I could use to add new grease.  I have Tri-Flow grease.

     

    THANKS

    I am trying to regrease and oil the unit before I even try to turn the wheel.  It was sitting for some time (inside luckily) and the grease was hardened

    I picked up a CONSEW 206RB (no - #, just RB) for $40 off of Craigslist.  I assumed the seller had left off a zero ($400), but he just wanted it gone.  I am hoping to be able to sew leather and firehose.  Will I need a servo motor (now has a clutch motor) AND a gear reduction or do the latest servo have the torque to sew at SLOW speeds?  I feel that with only having $40 into the machine I could spend the money on a servo and gear reduction (if needed).

     

    THANKS and after looking around (even before I had a machine (a guy can dream)), I LOVED this site
