Heavens to Betsy! Thanks so much for your time. I could never get this back together. I’m running on down to my local machine repair man and pay whatever he asks for.
I found your channel while looking for the manual for an Olympia similar to this one, Olympia Electra 140. No luck yet, with finding a manual, but I feel like I can clean it up after watching your videos, thank you.
I notice that you spray denatured alcohol (methylated spirits here in Australia) into the workings of the machine. Is this to remove the excess oil/grease? How thoroughly do you wipe it off, and is there a risk of rusting the parts if I use it for my machines? Lastly, does the Evaporust remove the paint when it goes into the vat? Thanks SMRG 😊😊
I have a second hand Brother Bradford machine Model C JA 28. It runs when plugged even though I'm not touching the foot pedal. Any thoughts? It does not have on or off switch. There are 2 plugs attached to it thhat you then plug into the outlets labeled motor or lights that is part of the foot pedal plug. The light does not come on but the motor starts going as if i was pressing the control. Appreciate any feedback. I'm a complete beginner and took on more than I can chew.
Was that 3 in 1 oil that you wiped the machine down with at the end that had a zoom spout on it? I just got a Singer- Fashion Mate from the 70's from goodwill that I need to do this to.
Nice vintage machine I never thought of going to thrift shops to check out for sewing machines. I am looking for a leather walking foot machine at the moment don’t think I will find some but worth a try. I have a question how much on average does a sewing machine repair person make?
Enjoyed video. Since you work on vintage machines maybe you can help me with problem I'm having with my Necchi Esperia. When turning wheel to lock to wind bobbin the needle still goes up and down. I have tried everything and can get it just wind bobbin. Haven't been able to find repair manual on it and there is no one close, within a hundred miles, that I'll check working on them nor have I been able to find out where there is an authorized dealer/repair shop in my area. If you could help it would be greatly appreciated.
If i sent you a picture of a "federal" vintage sewing machine "zig zag" mechanism, could u tell me or help me if its a spring that i need? When you turn the zigzag knob, you can see from the inside, the knob is not attached to make the lever turn to zigzag.. goodhousekeeper made the same machine model 609. Mine is the same, its just badged "Federal"
Very interesting, but it would have been more informative had you explained what you were doing and what you were trying to accomplish in edited format. I'm wondering about whether you ever need to replace worn or damaged parts and where you would find them for random machines. I also would like to understand the economics of this. Is this machine worth investing 3 hours of skilled labor? Or is it just a hobby or labor of love?
I have a 1970-1980 (don't know the exact year) German sewing machine Privileg 470. I'm a beginner and it's super easy to work with. It doesn't have plastic parts that can easily break, it's a great piece for my needs. But everyone has different tastes and needs, so a vintage machine may not be for everyone 😊
I just got a sewing machine similar to this one (it’s a universal model MSAZ also Japanese). I already cleaned it and oiled it but it seems to be going pretty slow. I know it’s not a problem in the knee pedal because it works fine when winding a bobbin. Any suggestions?

Thank you for sharing that clean up. You are very kind. God bless.
Thank you I bought a vintage janome 625 and fixed it because of your videos. Works great now.
The Artistry of your work.
Such a difference the deep clean has. All clean and shiny!! This model appears similar to the Singer - love the vintage look. Bet the owner was happy!

You make cleaning the machine so simple.
It's a pretty machine. Love the Tiffany blue color.
It was very satisfying to watch this video. Good job, Sir!

He has a five video free class on fixing any sewing machine. Check that out.
What does a clean up job like this (roughly) cost?
great video,
The old mechanic machines seem to be a lot easier to work on, in comparison to the new ones, like the Juki Hzl you reviewed. Is it true?

I have an old vintage Japanese dessmaker, looking to see if anyone has any information on them? Don't know the model
Great job Sir...CHAPEAU...Video on Toyota Eco 34c...Problem with Feed dog...Thanks

Clean the motor's armature with a special ceramic stone. Stiff innards might mean crud is still lingering somewhere.
Do you sell used machines?
I bought one and it’s broken idk what to do with it now. Will just buy a brand new one 😕
Where do you live ? It’s so hard to find repair guy here in Toronto , Canada.
I'm in South Carolina
I’m just east of Toronto. My experience is limited to machines without electronics.
@@SewingMachineRepairGuy no way, me too!
Wait? You can rinse off Krud Kutter with ethyl alcohol? This other RUclips guy puts them in the shower! (Bad idea!)
Can you elaborate?
