Generally, computerized machines are made so that the cases cannot be taken apart by the user. For one reason, there are computerized components inside that can be easily damaged.
Usually, the cases are put together with little plastic clips that slip together to hold them together. You could very easily break some of those clips, May be best to take it to a sewing repair shop.
Newer computerized machines are made (by the manufacturer) so they are difficult to take apart except by technicians. They do come apart but if you don't know how, it's possible to break the plastic clips. You might check with a sewing repair shop to see if they can do it for you for a small price.
In the meantime, you can purchase a standalone bobbin winder at JoAnn's, Hancock's, or Amazon.com for about $30.
In that old a machine I suspect the grease and oil of the mechanism has gotten hard (waxy) and is causing the gear mechanism to stick. Most likely it simply needs to be taken apart, the old lubricant removed, and new grease and oil added.
doesn't sound like he tried real hard, my suggestion is to find a sewing machine shop that will take the machine apart & find out why the selector doesn't move, it's possibly a worn or loose or broken part, & the repair man is suppose to open the machine & find out what's wrong.
The tread tesion knob came off and the mechinism came apart does anyone have a diagram to that instructs you how it goes back together. If you do could you please attach to an E-mail and send it to me at [email protected]
I had the same problem and one day my 9 year old said Mommy the thread is winding and cathing. I noticed that if the thread is not close to the silver metal arm it coils and makes a knot around the silver feed arm and also sometimes it cathces the little white plastic peace where the silver feed arm is connected to the machine.
The shuttle/race/bobbin system shouldn't really be taken apart by the average user. Unfortunately, your chances of ever getting it back together properly so the machine will sew (this is the timing of the machine) are very slim. You'll need to take it to a sewing machine technician. I would recommend an authorized Pfaff tech as they'll be sure to have the proper tools to do this correctly - won't be inexpensive but will be worth it. Most "neighborhood sewing machine repair folks" don't have experience on computer machines. Resetting timing on a computer machine isn't the same as the old mechanicals and requires some expertise.
