Great tutorial, Bob!

I rarely comment online but I had to express my gratitude for this absolutely brilliant tutorial. I dared not tackle this task until I came across this video which removed all fear of the unknown and, more particularly, the invisible. THANK YOU!

In the short time of collecting post WW2 thru mid 1970's sewing machines, foreign and domestic, the thread determination factor, and sourcing replacement screws has been a little bit of work. One epiphany I reached was/is that many screw pitch/diameters that were utilized in old firearms are often used on old sewing machines. I guess these fine, esoteric thread pitches wether used on a gun or SM cut down the risk of the screw coming loose under vibration and concussive load of operation.

Hi Bob! Three years later, but hoping you’ll see this! So I’m the proud owner of a machine 9 months younger (as per date allocation) than the little machine you have here. The bobbin thread isn’t picking up and I’m looking at the timing and positioning of the finger in question. HOWEVER - I noticed that the clip and its twister(?) holding the needle (fitted correctly flat side facing out) is not parallel to the machine. I took it off and the little dip that the bit is not parallel either. This means that there’s a possibility that the needle bar itself is twisted out of shape? Is this a thing? Trying hard to see if the needle holder is parralel on your machine here. Maybe it’s supposed to be a little to the right? thank you

Great educational tutorial Bob!

What do you think about 206K

Oh Bob - thank you so much for this! And yes please, I absolutely would love to see something on tapping - that would be awesome. :-)

Thank You Bob for this Video. now I know how to measure what size screw I need. Other than on Ebay or singer shops, where else can you get screws for 66,99 and 221?

Good basic explanation for those of us who haven’t worked with this. Thanks Bob! 👍🏼 Luckily, we live in an area with a number of tool & die employers. My husband is mechanical and has these gauges.

What a useful video! Thanks, Bob❤

Thank you for sharing that. I learn the most useful life skills on sewing channels.

Great video Bob! Those two tools are life savers! Thanks for sharing how to use them!

Tapping video?..YES please. Thank you for all you do.

I use mine quite a bit, at work & while working on VSM's

Lol i was a tool and die maker for 43 years, i had a screw pitch sets set in metric, inch and even in british whitworth....a lot of times i would use a pair of calipers and pull off a known distance such as a 1/4 of an inch 1/2inch or metric such as 8 mm...yes magnification, white paper and good lighting is key. But while checking with the calipers from crest to crest on the threads, i would count the the thread between the two caliper points..that would give me the pitch, then i would check he diameter, so now i had evverything in needed...so in the case of metric vs inch, , i would just multiply or divided by 25.4 to get he metric or inch equivalent. Yes cover those reasons for the plug, taper and bottoming taps for folks unfamiliar with why they are

Thank you!!! This is so very useful. I am very interested in the tapping video, too. You are a life saver 😊

Excellent video. Thank you

Thanks, Bob! It's always so informative! I am looking forward to learning about how to tap a screw hole!

I have a stuck stop motion knob on a singer model 744. I wound a bobbin, and I think I might have over tightened.That knob, it will not budge for anything I tried removing the screw and nothing happened

I believe that Singer used treads under a similar nomenclature called British Association for threads.

Hi Bob!! You Rock my friend. Your videos r tne best ! I just bot a 128 and was not sure about it but soon came to appreciate the design. I got it working quite quickly and am liking it a lot now. It was all complete and has one of those curved wooden cases with the key. I have never used a vibrating shuttle machine before but it is pretty cool. Thanks for all your hard work so that we can have fun with these amazing devices and get them operating properly. Chow baby !!!

Thanks Bob. This is very informative. 🙏🏽🦋

This is a problem I'm having now

Interesting. Thank you.

Another great video. Thanks

Just found your channel and I’m obsessed! You know your stuff my friend! Would love a video about what vintage machines are capable of more heavy duty sewing.

I just got a 1930 101 going, it's connector is like yours, and was wired the same as you described.

Thank you for your service bob

I absolutely adore it, Bob. It's a beautiful machine. I've been watching Marie's channel and I like your channel. I was just wondering what my next machine was gonna be what? I have a feeling. I guess can't afford it. And I was thinking about a tw0 01

How to adjust the needle to hook spacing?

I so appreciate your sewing machine repair videos and am THRILLED to discover you're a cat lover!! Thank you for your services!!! Keep up the good work!

The sewing community never ceases to amaze me with it's generosity. Really enjoyed these community based episodes. Thank You!

Hi Bob, what do you do for pins that are stuck, like the ones on a singer featherweight presser bar lifter?

Thank you Bob! Another wonderful video I needed to repair a light fixture on my 99💕❤️Have a great day Bob😊

Love 💕 it. I love giving

That’s a great story, thanks for sharing!

We are indeed an awesome community, Bob, and I've got a theory that kindness is kinda contagious and you're infecting people! I'm delighted to see how far and wide that bug is spreading. Like ripples on a pond... What a great story to round off my Monday! :-)

Why am I not surprised at the outcome of this story? Yay 4-H! I was an Extension agent for many years. I wonder if that model Necchi's feed dogs would fit my Necchi?

That is beautiful! Love the shine!

What goes around comes around. Bob, you’ve been so generous that it doesn’t surprise me at all to hear that generosity returned. I love the ethic of paying it forward. Hats off to both you and the community.

So very awesome. You just never know in life who's lives you touch. Thanks for doing what you do and also thanks to the generous hearts.

It’s wonderful how everything worked out and everyone got the help they needed.

Bob you and Liz are such kind , generous and big hearted people that it makes all who know you jump on board your Karma train to go along with the ride. You both are very special and so very kind to all you meet. Keep safe in your travels my brother!!🙏🇺🇸

It doesn't seem very hard to find someone to offer an act of kindness to. Find someone. Do it. Bob's helped me out. Probably you too. Pass it along. Smiles are free.😊

Thank you for all your kindness. Karma is definitely on your side. Great story.

Very nice! Kindness is a lubricant of life. 🙂. I appreciate the kindness that Bob has extended to me. (I bet he hates that I even said that. 🤣)

❤ what a lovely follow-up. Good nature put out into the world is so needed. Thanks for being the (good) change. Wishing you & Liz many more wonderful days 🙂

Thank you! Your videos will help talk my mechanic son into helping me restore my machines! 😂 I have a PA motor from a 401 singer, the fiberous tap around the motor winding disinegrated. Would kapton tape work as a replacement for this?

Where can I get the oil wick replacement? Not knowing it was that…..I pulled mine out thinking it was lint build up……
