Thank You Tejas ! Have some more questions figured out how to move hook assembly horizontal or North as some say .. now that I have it all out of wack ,lol. From my understanding you have to start by getting straight stitch dead on , and can not get it still off an 1/8”. Took apart bight adjustment knob and found at the end of the pin is a worn spot /Divet in the metal.. could this be why I can’t dial in straight stitch ? Divet is not as much needle travels in the west to east movement. Was reading for hours and one guy gave this lady a procedure to adjust machine in a certain order .. wish I would have mark it some how to read again , think I read 20-30 pages yesterday . hey Tejas think u can work magic again on my pic ? Also is there a certain correct distance gears need to mesh on the hook assembly shaft when I get back to adjusting needle bar height and hook to eye distance? Thanks Wayne, back to reading Northmount , I’m using my iPhone work phone , Xs max if that matters ,, maybe I can get computer savvy guys at work to show me what ur telling me , I’ll read again though.. Thanks Worn spot.HEIC

Hello everyone! Been lurking for many years on site . That’s how I found where to buy my Seiko STH-8BLD-3 a few years ago.Just found an old Singer Cylinder arm machine 107G253 on Craigslist for $75. It’s a straight/Zigzag machine ,Bought it from a guy that had a huge warehouse . Anyway couldn’t pass it up , I know it’s not a walking foot machine but it might help me sew canvas and vinyl bags.Can’t find a whole lot of info on machine but it’s sister machine is 107G201 from the 50’s I believe. It was kinda dirty been used a lot .Things were kinda jammed with thread . Some missing screws and parts damaged. I was able to get stitch adjusting knob freed up .but was having tension issues from underneath,partially started taking things apart and cleaning , oiling but not too much . I know enough not to start loosening screws and take pics before hand . Started turning hand wheel by hand and could hear this clicking noise found the #20 needle that was in it was rubbing the hook assembly. But not sure how to move away . I bought #14,16,18, 20 needles for it , wanna sew Tex 69,92 bonded polyester if possible. I know there’s lots of professionals on this site , been reading so much ! It’s easy to get sidetracked. Find this site Very Informative! Has anyone seen this machine before? Can anyone give me procedures on how to go thru machine and set up correctly? and how to move the needle away from hook assembly. I’ve been studying all the screws and mechanisms. I printed out a maintenance manual, it’s like copies of a xerox pages Hard to make out details.. I am mechanical and detailed oriented and have loads of enthusiasm! Will try and post pics .. Thank You in advance for any help ,, Wayne sorry Wizcrafts I’m not sure where to post, if you need to change I would appreciate that ! Thank You Oh darn, Guess I’m going to need help to reduce size of pics …more reading I guess
