do you know this machine.?
it seems it is a german, european, clone of a wheeler and wilson 3 that is very rare in italy.? circa 1880, 82, it seems to me.
I found that in a flea market, no instructions,
although amazon(!) sell them, some years ago.?
However, it seems nearly identical to the ww #3.?
I want see if someone can help me.? ?my problem is that:? this lady won't pickup the lower thread,
It seems complete, no broken or missing parts, and I searched to clean it from its old dirtyness in best way. It runs freely
? ?Yesterday I saw that someone here said that the needle might be too low.
I looked at my needle, and in effest only a little piece, 2, 3mm. of its 'head'came out from the needle holder and I picked up that circa 3 mm: I tried many times, 2,5 3, 3,5, 4 mm. nothing!?
but only the first time the upper thread was nearly up.. all entangled into the bobbin case
Many times both thread? entangle, sometime the upper one went out all alone from the hole.? the shape of the needle-hole is identical than ww3 one it has the shape of number 8. (why this curious shape?)
the bobbin case is very similar to that of ww 3....
the tension seems intactis.Is the tension very important for picking up the upper thread?
Who put my needle so low, when and why.? it seemed in that position from many? many years. tonight I have only a photo.? I search to post it, I wait for your thoughts
