Singer 107w1 tension release rod

So, it sounds like the whole tension assembly was moving slightly when that rod was pushed in?

Yes, and therefore the finger part wasn’t contacting the plunger part.

I’ve stripped the old plywood top to reveal beautiful grain.

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.

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.......

With all this love and attention it's just gotta go well.

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.

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...............

This is a few graveyard pieces.
