When assembling the hook components in the Singer 760, I accidentally installed the collar on the lower side of the hook shaft upside down.
It wasn't causing any issues but the clearance between it and the adjacent gear is minimal.
I correct that problem in this video.
Why am I doing so many videos on the Singer 700 series machines? Well we can blame Covid-19 as we're in a high level lock down at this point in time and I'm not able to get to my storage facility to pick up other machines. I just happen to have a bunch of 700 series machines on hand.
Hang in there - I'll be doing videos on other makes, models and subjects in the near future.
Are the plastic gears a way of building in planned obsolecsence? I don't think that is the main driving factor for putting plastic gears in these machines. The 700 series machines are of high quality German manufacture and I think that maybe the gears are a way of quietening the machines down.
Singer supply a lot of the parts, even today and I think that's pretty good considering the attitudes of some companies these days.
The 700 series Singers are precision made in Germany and are beautiful and very functional, not to mention easy to use.
