Members dikman Posted May 20, 2018 Members Report Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) So, it sounds like the whole tension assembly was moving slightly when that rod was pushed in?

Members Mizzy Posted May 20, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 20, 2018 Yes, and therefore the finger part wasn’t contacting the plunger part. Quote
Members Mizzy Posted May 20, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 20, 2018 I’ve stripped the old plywood top to reveal beautiful grain. Quote
Members Mizzy Posted May 20, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 20, 2018 I gave her a French Polish but it looked like a fake tan, so I tediously removed all the shellac and replaced it with car wax. Quote
Members dikman Posted May 20, 2018 Members Report Posted May 20, 2018 You have been a busy girl! A nicely grained piece of wood is always pleasing to look at. So, one down and 19 to go.......

Members Mizzy Posted May 20, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 20, 2018 Hahaha ... I have about 30 Dikman, and yes Rocky, one would hope. This old girl is my favourite, I’ve been using her almost exclusively for years now. She does a beautiful zigzag and straight stitch, and she almost punches through tin. Hopefully still does. I’ve just put a Doso DS 28 servo on her and once I figure out how to line the pulleys up I’ll find out. Quote
RockyAussie Posted May 20, 2018 Report Posted May 20, 2018 That is just beautiful Mizzy. It looks like you have a whole lot more exciting looking machines in the background waiting for their turn as well. How bout a wider view shot? I'm on the hook now...............
