Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
good info. Sounds like I should look for a different machine for the heavy duty stuff. I am looking forward to cleaning her up to be in tip top condition and maybe find a good home for her.

Had a time getting a FW I had sold working properly. The lady said it just starting popping top thread. Then she said she had "messed with" the tensions. After some frustration I found the gib screw was loose enough so it caused the thread to catch when sewing fast. I'ved never had that particular screw loosen voluntarily; perhaps she "messed with" that as well. And got the tension back right; she had tinkered with both top and bobbin tension and it was some kind of a mess. Glad that is behind me.
Now to veg out the rest of the day.

I do not know. I am resisting the temptation to contact the seller and ask them what dream world they live in. That IS the most outrageously priced vintage machine I have seen... I think :?:[/quote]
I did write this person and asked him to reconsider his pricing. I told him that I just bought the same Rockeeter for $30.
