Members dikman Posted January 17, 2017 Author Members Report Posted January 17, 2017 Thanks guys. I think the lower oil tank is leaking, probably just needs new gasket material. I'm also thinking of fitting a handle/knob to the large pulley as this would make it easier to handcrank it. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Members mixmkr Posted January 17, 2017 Members Report Posted January 17, 2017 yeah...that pulley is a beast!! I'd think you could go off the grid, if you hook some sort of power supply off of it :-) Quote JUKI LU562, Singer 107 W1, Thompson PW201 mini walker, a couple of plastic fantastics for light duty "home stuff".... ya know...fixin' and altering clothes.....
Members dikman Posted January 20, 2017 Author Members Report Posted January 20, 2017 At the risk of boring people, I have to make one more statement - I love this machine!! I have some M20/138 bonded braided polyester thread and none of my machines like it, they inevitably catch the braiding at some point during stitching and usually after a very few stitches. I gave up trying to get the adjustments right. So, out of curiosity I decided to try it in the Seiko. Perfect first time, no tweaking necessary. Don't know why it won't work on the others but does on this one, but I don't really care. I'm very impressed.
