SINGER 201-2 sewing machine restoration Day #3

[@rsmith9482]

Thank you for teaching me. These are the best presentations on Singer machines out there. Very nice presentations. Thank you.

The VERY finest home machine ever. Just look at the gears, and how finely they mesh. What a wonderful piece of design, engineering, and workmanship.

Thanks a bunch for the video!. Very clear presentation. Just purchased a 201, very excited to get it going.

You just saved my dang sewing machine at 3:22. I had to take it apart due to a thread jam and could not for the life of me figure out how that hook shaped part of the bobbin assembly was supposed to go around the plate below the foot. Thank you so much for this video!

Today is a perfect day for working on sewing machines. It was -17 when I woke up.

Hi and thank you for this info! I’m restoring a 201 and I’m having an issue with the reverse lever is bouncing when running the machine. Any idea on a resolution to that?

Thank you for your demonstration of servicing the singer 201. I recently purchased one sight unseen and it seems the center main rod on the bottom is frozen. I get slight movement on other gears so that is how I came to this assessment. I've tried using penetrating oil with no success. Any suggestions on what I might soak it in to get that rod free? I really would love to save this machine and not have it go for parts if possible. Thanks

Did you put polish over the decals?

[@duncan6447]

Greasing of the gears is incorrect. Its an oil only machine.

I just bought a 70 year old 201 that came with a container of the original singer grease. I imagine the worm gears do need it or some more modern grease.
