Cleaning session 5

Having removed the hand crank I was now able to access the balance wheel. Removing the screw below allowed me to remove the balance wheel from the machine.

 

Having read about the 'Clamp stop motion clamp washer' on other blogs, I knew it was important to photograph its exact position relevant to the balance wheel and whilst still on the machine (see below):

 

The reason for this is because it does have a fixed position and once removed for cleaning you will easily forget or place it in the wrong position later.

Like new ^_^




Next, was the bobbin winder bracket...

Again, just one screw releases the whole thing:

Here, I didn't want to mess with it too much and just took off the friction ring and gave it a good clean with metal polish.

 
All cleaned up.
