I am living vicariously through your work... *swoon* No problem :D we are all here to learn something, I dont mind So, are you guys and gals ready for a little mistory? I was ultrasonic cleaning the thread tension assembly and this pin was rattled loose. Manual says 3 pins needed, I now have 4. Soo, 2 options here. 1. I somehow invented a duplicator machine!! 2. The pin was use on some other part of the machine, and had hidden, and first noticed it when taking out the other part. if that's the case, where is it needed?? Also, hos is the back part supposed to fit? I can tighten it, and it rattles a little. I fully admit, am not the sharpest tool in the shed, this could be obvious to you folks Quote
Members jimi Posted March 24, 2022 Members Report Posted March 24, 2022 do you have the one in here? Quote
Members Woehlk Posted March 24, 2022 Author Members Report Posted March 24, 2022 Thank you Jimi!! Manual did not mention it, slight variations of models I guess. Quote
Members Woehlk Posted March 25, 2022 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2022 So today was a productive day. Got her sanded, and went over the surface with a scotch pad. This is 1 coat of epoxy primer. When its light gray like that, you can really se all the little marks and scratches. I will putty the larger ones, and the filler primer should take out the small scratches. Im not going eccentric over this, at the end of the day, its a sewing machine, not a Car Doing primer work is vary forgiving, in the sense, that its easy to sand, go back and coat it again. Im still living the color painting to the pros Quote
Members Woehlk Posted March 25, 2022 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2022 This reminds me so much of when I was younger, and build WW2 models. I painted Germans tanks, and they was also painted this shade of gray Also has a little submarines vibes? :D Quote

Members Woehlk Posted March 31, 2022 Author Members Report Posted March 31, 2022 Soo, a little update. All parts have been primered, and are ready for painting, will go by the car painters tomorrow I think. Also, I broke the little oil cup at the top. Glued it on, but did not like it. could not find any online, So had a new brass one made Quote
