Also with Singer because they cornered the market with sales many people collect & repair these vintage machines & kindly share their knowledge by making videos & posting on blogs which help you to sort any problems out. I've looked inside but compared to the Singer the gubbins are packed in there tight & you can't see much, unlike my Singer where you can see all the parts. I suspect that's why I got the machine cheap. I've taken the base off & all that dropped out was a pin. However it's very clean inside so it's more likely something has broken off somewhere inside. Maybe something is jammed in which case it may unjam as I use it. No idea why as it's been oiled and all the bits move except the needle bar. It sews a lovely straight stitch but it doesn't do any zig zag stitches. What a pain! Never mind I'll get used to it, quite a lot of the more modern machines have this too. Another problem is that you have no idea how much thread is on the bobbin when you're sewing as it's completely hidden inside the casing & under the machine. I find I have to tilt the machine backwards & lie it down to see what I'm doing.
