second part of my history

 

no one answer to me, in my precedent thread 'two machines for beginning mad' I had posted two new photos. and three messagea.I post the third photo. I ask if these ar the screws to loosen for tufning the hook not in time, and I ask if it is possible for the axis? going to left a pair of millimeters, because the needle touch always the metal. somenne is disposed to discuss yhis argument?
 

Not many of us own the older curved needle machines, so fewer people
can answer you. (I'd love to own a #3 machine someday!) And, as you
know, fixing a problem from a distance, with only photos, is also
difficult.

Hi'
Yes, that is the screws that need loosening. Keep in mind that s the machine is out of time the main shaft may have somehow been forcibly moved with the screws tight, which may have caused a burr on the shaft, making it difficult to now move. You will just have to work with it carefully & patiently.?

The position of the shaft controls only the hook. Once loosened the hook can be rotated 360¡ã so timing can be set as needed. As to whether the hook can be shifted left depends on if there is clearance between the hook & the machine body, I cannot tell that from the picture. The thread is picked from the needle on the right side so it should be as close as it can be set without,?hitting, to the hook point which picks up the thread. From your question I am assuming the needle is hitting on the left side, which does indicate the hook needs to be shifted to the left.?

One other possibility is whether or not the needle is lined up properly with the needle hole. If the pair of cone point screws on which the needlebar rides in the rear have been tampered with & not properly reset the needle itself could be too far left, it should pretty well center in the hole in the plate. Once you get the hook shaft moving though you will be able to tell if it can be shifted left or not.

Sorry about not answering earlier, I have had a rough week & was not online from Sunday till yesterday with a lot of catching up to do. I was suffering a few side effects of my Chemo treatments.

thank you.
you must excuse my impatience, but the difficulties about distance and photos etc are mine, too, and even a linguistic difficulty,? you are very clear, but I'm italien, and I know, by phone and forums only a person in Italy able to a similar discussion.very far of my home.? obviously I can't find him...in Italy most people knows only singer. they think singer is italian because they change it with necchi, and ther was an important manifacture near Milan....don't talk about solder a little bit of cast iron.....very rare.? all is very different,here, tha in us
it is not different that most forum have an argument, interesting, and they , on the most beautiful, leave it in half...forever
after this machine is?disconcerting in its apparent simplicity, and I'm quite alone with the mind of mr Wilson
however tomorrow I will try with the screws.? I hope it works, with your help, so we will have another entire history for the group.? ?thank you? ? ?cristiana
