Yes time flies....throat measures 19"...bobbin is 1" ...appears to be in time but the hook doesn't want to pick up the lower thread...

treadle printing is hard to read but is "politype" and lower line reads "Emile James NY"...R Neumann & Co printed on the head ...serial #2110

any info would be greatly appreciated...Thanks a bunch

re read my post and meant to say that  the the hook misses the upper thread...not sure why seems to be right where it should be..may be a tension issue not leaving enough loop in the needle thread for the hook to pickup...not really sure

The check spring setting affects the quality of the loop.

thanks for the suggestion about the check spring...was wondering what the cylinder on top is for,  mine doesn't have one, the mounting hole is there...I'm still learning about these machines.

I have a pro 2000, 111 155, an american straight needle, and a 29k 60 , seem to be able to make them all sew but this one has been a problem... I just like the old machines...thanks
