Bought a Used Consew

Thanks Hooiam - these are the videos I watched first before I retired my machine - certainly helped me to understand the poorly written manuals!

I see the adjustment, but can’t seem to get the feed regulator rod to move and I don’t want to force it.  For now I am just turning the work 180 degrees and backstitching this way.  I am hoping one of the experts on here might be able to offer some advice!

Just a thought, I'd try some PB Blaster penetrating oil, I've used it in auto work for decades, it's the best stuff I've ever seen (next to a heating torch lol.) If it will break rusted bolts on an exhaust system loose, it should work on a sewing machine that's been kept out of the weather. Just spray it and let it soak in for an hour, reapply again and see what happens.

Thanks for the tip - I will try to find some locally!
