Members Mizzy Posted July 1, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 1, 2019 Thank you for your help, much appreciated! My husband tig welded that broken piece back together, just have to drill a hole now. But first, I’m trying to remove the needle bar assembly which is the first step in replacing the take-up lever. Picture 1 shows the bracket screw and positioning bracket, which I removed, but apparently the needle bar assembly just slides out. It doesn’t. Picture 2 shows a screw that isn’t mentioned in the military handbook disassembly instructions for a similar machine. Maybe that’s keeping the bracket from sliding out? Anyone please? Picture 3 shows the bobbin case opener tig weld job. I think this is a good option when replacing broken parts that are near impossible to find. Quote

Welding, brazing/silver soldering or making parts yourself is a great option for many repairs. Good job! Quote
