OT - sewing machine repair
hi all
i'm hoping one of you fine gentlemen will be able to help me gain some wife approval points... she has a husqvarna (viking) '2000 SL' sewing machine (actually a couple, along with a bunch of others! - we arent the only species who has to have more than one of anything!) this one, and i think also the other, gets stuck in reverse. When opened, i can return it to forwards by applying a moderate amount of assistance to the spring return, but there is no way it will return by itself. This machine has 'lifetime lubrication' so there is no way to add oil. The action is smooth, but stiff. Any suggestions? any idea what the original lube might be? i guess white lithium style grease, does that dry out over time? I could disassemble but i'd rather not as i am not familiar with re-timing if that was needed. appreciate all suggestions! russ (from Oz) |
