Hi Miller Sounds like you are on a good path with the medication, it is a bit of a shock how long you have suffered, I have my fingers crossed for you.? My AF is quite minor/ lucky I went in with an very irregular pulse at the beginning of 1998 and was sent to another hospital in an ambulance to be told by a useless doctor that I was too young at 36y to have an AF heart and that I should go back to work. 6months later I had a stroke while I was preparing to crew on a yacht from Swansea UK to Portugal, I lived on my own and did not know until I had a phone call and found I could not say anymore than 3 words before getting stuck. I was lucky 11 days in hospital until my AF heart rate came down from 220 beats to a more normal level; after I came out I joined a gym and 12months later I was back caving and mountain climbing. Interesting thing was I still had breathing problems on just one flight of stirs but if I pushed on with the rest of the stairs my breathing would return to normal a bit like a second wind.? I say this in the hope others find it useful if they are ill. My main problem is that if I get flu or bronchitis then it really his me hard.? My stab at 1900 was such a guess based on thin data, as you know they had a badge by Singer around 1905. I have a few singers and the transfers look odd for the year of the serial number, this is because quite a few were traded in and refurbished by Singer often the case and wood base do not match the date of the machine. I watch a few YT when people strip down a sewing machine to clean it, I could do that I have done that with motorbikes to replace bearings and repaint. With sewing machines I just check for wear and adjust if needed mostly just oil and use them. The WWD9 was dry as a bone and the oil had turned to hard varnish but it would sew once I replaced the bottom bobbin tension screw. (where do you get screws that small, I may have to take a clock to bits) I just ordered a singer 99 bobbin case for ?6 because the tension screw from that fitted but the head of the screw was a bit too big, however the WWD9 works well now. I am still amazed at the quality of engineering from back in the day the tooling and production equipment is stunning when you consider that in a domestic home around 1900 the sewing machine was the most sophisticated piece of equipment unless they had a clock ;-)? ?(It is worth reading about Harrison and the longitude prize? ? )? ? ??Our family used to repair machines in the cotton mills in Gt. Harwood Lancashire and around 1930 my granddad wanted a micrometer so he made one and I still have it he did this in between shoeing cart horses and other blacksmith work. Sorry I got a bit long with the post.? ? ?? all the best John On Tue, 10 Sep 2019 at 00:55, Miller Fulks <mmf38@...> wrote:
