Re: Intro, new W&W No.8 owner

Re: Sewing Machine Myth

Re: Sewing Machine Myth
Hi Bernt; It appears that what you have here is the old style bobbin drop with new style case having attached tension spring. I am now wondering if the bobbin dimensions were also changed at this

Re: Sewing Machine Myth

Re: Sewing Machine Myth
Hi Bernt; That picture from your manual is essentially identical to the one in my #9 manual. My #9 manual does show the case with the locating finger, but otherwise everything is just alike. What is

Re: Sewing Machine Myth
Hi Miller, So nobody saw my pictures or did they end up somewhere? Mine is the 8 early 9 type. But: There is NO slot in the casing as in the manual and as you mentioned. It is thus not possible to get
