Marie made a statement she gets grief by viewers about some things she's says about false information. According to the Singer manual - Part # 20340 Instructions for Using Singer Electric Sewing Machine 201-2, Pg 28-29 It states gears concealed by gear cover (E2 Fig. 28) are to be oiled through lube hole (E Fig. 23). I have seen her in several videos resorting to the manuals. Rest assure she has a manual with her while she's assembling these machines. I have not seen where she has given out any false information in any of her videos. Reason why I like watching her videos, She's very informative on what she does. Another great painting of a sewing machine. With that Rollie Pollie looking bird sitting on the stump, It reminded of Angry Birds. An Angry Bird theme, that would be cool. I don't know how many hours of my life I spent playing Angry Birds. I'm still tossing around some the ideas of inlaying that cast Singer emblem. I'll throw some more ideas at you.
Thank you!! I actually attached a link in the description of this video to a downloadable copy of the adjusters Manual for these machines, for anyone interested 😊
Great video. I usually avoid long videos, like over an hour long, just because of the time it takes to watch them. Yours was an exception and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I'll bookmark this one for future reference. We all benefit from your friendship with Mr. Fowler. You two make a good team. I thought I heard a little clicking sound while it was sewing. Perhaps the needle clamp is ever so slightly touching the needle bar shaft. I had that issue with a machine I worked on some time back. Might be worth looking at. Thanks for all the work you did with this project and sharing it with us.
Beautiful Marie. My 201 that I built has a different spool pin. I will email you a solution. She really is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. P.S. Did that silver spool pin plate come with that machine???
Hi. No, she didn't come with a plate. But she was in bad shape. There isn't a center hole for the pin. I'm going to order some shiny 5/8" hole plugs to give her a pretty finish.
