But he is in Heaven playing around having fun right now with Lola and all of their friends and children waiting on us to meet them so we can help toss the toys about.

I do remember seeing a tutorial or board message on how to clean these up but can't find it again. Can someone tell me where to find it? In the meantime I plan to worship at this mans feet! How lucky can I get? I wonder what else he has in that garage of his?![/quote]
Here is Billy's tutorial Part 2.

I just did a search from the message board to locate these tutorials.

Sandy actually belonged to my MIL/FIL and outlived both of them. He's been failing for a while, but really went downhill fast. Had to wait till the kids both left to return to school. But i think they knew it was inevitable. Been crying all day, it's so hard to make that decision. I think I will get out one of my old machines and sew a little, that always helps!

You should not have to retime any of these machines. The 66 is the only one that the timing could get out of whack and I can walk you through the process of getting it back in time if needed be.
But that was definitely a great day with hubby dragging out all the sewing machines!! All my garage has in it is old cars and tools!!

How long can you sew before it locks up? Do you have thread wrapped around the hook assembly behind it or on the shaft that the bobbin rides on? Can you turn the handwheel backwards after it locks up?
