Looks legit... Had a search .. couldn't find the date info .. there are a few here that have more info than I do ... see if someone can contribute

...I have not got 6218 on the Pearson Register. May I have name and location please.

Just out of interest, I have 6280 belonging to Gerry Johnstone from Christchurch, New Zealand

Hello!

I am beyond stoked to see some people from New Zealand here. I have pearson serial No.6974, I recently bought it from a guy in Christchurch. There is some very useful info on here, and would love to get in contact with someone in NZ who knows a bit about these machines. I cannot get mine to stitch correctly, as the tension never stays consistent. It will be stitching perfectly, then all of a sudden the bottom thread will be looping on top. It also occasionally misses a stitch. I'm fairly certain it's down to the shuttle. I'll try and attach some photos. I've spent hours and days cleaning, oiling, and adjusting tension, it's very frustrating the lack of consistency, because it means I cannot use it yet for projects. I'm reluctant to just buy a shuttle without trying everything else first, as they are very pricey. Also the stitching length is not correct. There is way more SPI than I have it set on. Does anyone know what would cause this? I will not stop until my machine is perfect haha, I love it to bits and wouldn't have anything else (I'm 21, spent all my savings on this machine, they don't come up for sale very often here in NZ) Thanks for any input and help, it's awesome to connect with others who love these beautiful machines.

...I can't seem to attach photos...might have to become a member to do that

a. your photos have to be small to put them on here. About 600 x 600 [max] pixels, a couple of hundred kb 

b. we need to attract the attention of gordond and MariaMS by tagging them like this

@gordond and @MariaMS ; come help

Hi, in case you don’t find help here and you are on Facebook, there is a dedicated FB group for pearson’s owners

I am pretty sure there is a bunch or NZ people on this group

Here is my shuttle, and I also noticed the spring is missing from the shuttle cover, which surely isn't helping. Good to know about the Facebook group! I'll find it.

Al said he replied to you today via here (informed me via FB)... a number of issues namely shuttle but there are others... tension plate..needle /burr/position /orientation 

join the(FB (private)) Pearson HM6 Group - wealth of pointers on looping /skipping..

Plus plenty of Kiwis and Aussies on there.
