Whoa! BIG project! I think that the bobbin case assembly might be held on by 3 screws around the shaft like my 206- it sort of looked similar down there...good luck! I hope the wicking is OK after the wash! Definitely a Master Schmoo Award😉
The hook did not want to budge 🤣 it's like a locker combination after the screws are removed and still would not move. For now, she has won the battle. But at least she moves freely.
Your 2 videos so far on this machine have been wonderful! I inherited a 241-1 a few months ago and have been trying to find someone who has documented the process like this since I'm a little nervous to start taking it apart, this machine looks so similar I think I can do it! It's like I was meant to find these videos!!! I can't wait for it to come out of the tank all clean, good luck and I'm so excited to see more.
Yay! I'm almost done painting her and then get into the mechanics again. I bought replacement wicking so that will be something new! So glad you found me 😊
Interesting Marie. I have never seen this machine. I’m stuck on my 66 , the bobbin winder is not fitting correctly. I see springs that can be loosened. Is that something that may need an adjustment ?
There are several types of bobbin winders on 66's I think Bob has videos of most of them. One will hopefully answer your question. Lots of tricky springs and screws in them 😊
This is an excellent video, but anyone who has an "INDUSTRIAL" sewing machine these all come with a self oiling wick system with or without an oil tank at the bottom of the machine. Unless you are planing on replacing all the oiling wicks, felt pad reservoirs and such, do not put these in electrolysis tank. Get or download a "IPB" illustrated parts breakdown of your sewing machine and locate all those wicks. I find candle wicks work well, thick and thin ones. The easiest way to replace them is to sew the end of the wick in the machine with a new wick or get a spool of twenty thousand bare wire and fish the wire through the tubes. I made a video on a singer 281 and a Pfaff 463, replacing the oil wicks. If you can't disassemble your machine but still want to clean it to where you can paint it, just use carburetor cleaner and Kroil penetrating oil. Those two in combination will free up and clean any machine. Be careful not to damage any paint with carburetor cleaner if you're not planning to repaint it. Why carburetor cleaner.These old vintage sewing machine have the same petroleum dried varnish buildup as old carburetors. Years of oil buildup turned into varnish, no different than old gasoline varnish buildup.. If you what to totally dissemble your machine and paint it, theres no better channel than this one. I'm watching her videos learning on how to do that, paint some of my industrial machines. Sure I can tear them down, fix them, but painting them, that's a whole new ballgame for me. Give me a can of paint, I'll screw it up somehow.
Gross! Better thee than me! 🥴 Sure hope you keep your tetanus shots updated.😳 That thing is a beast! I am completely baffled by the “oil wick system.”🤨😂 I’m strictly an electronic no oil machine kind o’ girl. 😊 Interesting project. Thanks for sharing.
What a fabulous video. Thank you.
Love watching this project Marie. Looking forward to seeing how she turns out!!
like your singer 319 in the back
I'm lovin' this!
It gets better 😁😉

Oh - this is just so interesting to watch! Is there nothing you won't take on Marie? Bravo!!
She's definitely my weight limit, that's for sure 😁

Oh yuck... What a crud filled machine! Can't wait to watch her transportation. You're definitely a miracle worker.
Mi.maquina funciona muy bien
Fabulous! If I may ask, how did you remove the sight glass? I don’t think I seen it on your video.
There's a little screw on frame, so I remove that and a cork gasket, and the old sight glass and was able to replace them.

What servo motor did you get for it? I just bought a 241-11 and it definitely moves too fast for me 😅
