Singer stylist 457
I just bought this stylis 457 The motor seems to run fine but the bobbin thread won't pull up and the bobbin doesn't rotate. Is there any suggestion on how to fix it or what might be wrong.
Thanks for any suggestion

Is the needle in correctly? If it's backward it won't pick up the thread. If it's right then you might have a timing problem. The bobbin won't move unless the needle pulls the thread from it.

yes the needle is put in correctly. I just notice that a gear on the top half of the machine is broken when I took the bottom plate off it was laying in the pan. Maybe I there is no hope for this as I don't know how to get down to where its located to put a new one on. Then would I have to retime it. So many questions

It's called the vertical shaft top gear. They are the normal ones to break on this model of machine. They are not too hard to replace but you do have to retime the needle to hook.

I just pulled mine out- it was part of my mom's herd I inherited. weird that it seems almost identical to her 237 except I think it's a drop in bobbin instead of the vertical one and has a dial for zigzag or blindstitch i think..otherwise looks pretty much the same. was bidding on a different one on ebay -347 I think- but got outbid and that was ok - it was just blue LOL! hopefully I'll have better luck...

The hook timing is easy enough: Good experience and you can even watch someone do it on youtube.
