These are the 128x1 & the DBx1 needles. ? ?Both of these needles have a length to eye of 33.9mm so have to be pulled down off the stop by about 5mm.
How sensitive should I expect the WW8 be to that ~5mm?
Is it closer to +/-0.1 mm or +/- 1mm?
I'm about to start cleaning and getting my WW8 up and running.
Also, I had a fun find with this machine... there was a WW MFG Co number 4 needle in the needle bar!?!? I'm so glad that I didn't just absent-mindedly toss out the needle w/out taking a close look at it.
I wonder how old that needle is and how long it has been since this machine was actually used. (Also, sorry I don't have any fancy digital calipers, so no pics w/measurements... yet ? )
