I posted awhile ago about my New Home Light Running DSM. I finally got the hand wheel off last night - used a rubber mallet numerous times but finally it came off. I cleaned everything per Rain's video and will reassemble today after oiling. Hopefully, the bobbin winder will now work. Please let it work.
I also discovered that this is a top clamping machine but the box of attachments that came with it are also top clamping. The cabinet it is in is a solid cabinet so cannot take to my friend - bummer!! She'll get a heavy portable Singer instead. I have taken pictures of it disassembled and hope to post them here. The motor runs off a friction wheel with a rubber tire. The tire had a flat spot but used a wad of batting to create a shim and the wheel rerounded itself but will look for a replacement.
I have to resize pictures before they will load. Will post them in a few minutes.
