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!! :taptap:
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 :rofl:

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 :guitar:

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

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 :thumbsup:

Also has a little submarines vibes? :D
