Members AnthonyD Posted October 29, 2011 Members Report Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Need help with this sewing machine. It was given to me and was froze up, I oiled it and was able to get it going. I know it is a brother with a 140watt motor model c. Does anyone know what model it is. the closest I could find is a model 651 but I believe it is older. what is the thing under the cover.? Can I get a new tensioner.? what about the bobbin area? Is it worth fixing? Thanks, Anthony Edited October 29, 2011 by AnthonyD Quote
Members amuckart Posted October 29, 2011 Members Report Posted October 29, 2011 Hi Anthony, what is the thing under the cover.? It is a place where you put cams to do fancy zigzag patterns. Can I get a new tensioner.? Probably, but you'll want to look at domestic machine repair forums to find a source what about the bobbin area? If its as badly chewed up as the picture makes it look it probably needs a new hook at least, and likely a new shuttle race as well. Is it worth fixing? Only if you have a real attachment to it for some reason. It's not a rare or valuable machine, it'll never sew leather well, and if you want a machine of this model you can probably find one in much better condition for less than you'll spend on parts time and materials to get this into a state where it's useful.
