I have spent nearly a year working on a 130-6 that was in a house fire. It burned the cabinet and distorted the bed of this machine. After a full tear down, cleaning, lubing, and replacement parts it's about good to go. I am having trouble feeding fabric especially in reverese. You're video has helped me with the final touches. After erstoration is complete I plan to gift it back to the woman that gave it to me. There was a note with it that touched my heart. I could tell she didn't want to part with it. Thank you for the great videos!!
I'm sorry I didn't see this comment until now. What a beautiful story. Did you end up getting it finished? How did you fix the bed? Replacement? I've been using this machine for a while now. Sewing as a hobby for me is only secondary so I'm not a frequent sewer; I make gear for hiking. I've been very happy with this machine's capabilities, especially on thick, heavy fabrics.
@@chrysincognitio3751 I actually picked up a second one that was siezed and it freed up easily and sews fantastic. The one form the fire has something warped and only sews well in a straight line. There is some binding in zig zag that I can't figure out. I like sewing camp gear as well. I have a Pfaff 60 that is a very strong industrial straight stitch machine. between the two I'm set for life! I'd love to come across a Cheap Juki though !
Measure your current belt or the place it would go in inches. Search eBay for "sewing machine lug belt" if you see a number like 1314 that's 13 ¼ inches. 1456 would be 14 and 5/6" The width should be universal. Most of your results will be the orange ones. Your motor's mount should be adjustable for some degree of slack. If you really want a classic black one, they're hard to find and you'd need to get a machine v-belt. I've got one of these on the way, but I haven't received it yet so I can't comment on it: www.ebay.com.au/itm/133050980932
