no motor-no problem winding a 1940 128 bobbin.
Hello all,
High high's the water Mom is the current question with record breaking rain/flooding in Louisiana. Totally unbelievable , but, to the subject at hand. I was working on my 128 and wanted to wind the bobbin on the machine as opposed to using one of my other for the job. Well, I had my dremel tool with a wire brush cleaning a few parts when I thought about using it to power the winder assy. I removed the brush and installed the drum sander and used it to power the bobbin winder. Then I removed the sanding sleeve and used the rubber against the balance wheel. All worked well and on the slowest setting, 5k, it spooled up the bobbin in short order. I don't know if anyone has tried this method, but it worked for me. I have a few pics to show the process. Now back to checking the rising water and road closures in my area. Chow for now.
