Henya's Singer 237 - Sunday Morning Quickies, Episode 111, March 3, 2024

In the theory that understanding HOW something works is the first step in fixing issues, this week, we're delving into a Singer 237 owned by viewer Henya. Liz and I had the pleasure of traveling to Brooklyn, NY to meet Henya and picked up this repair job (I must also mention, since we already paid the tolls to get onto Long Island from New Jersey, we took the opportunity to visit one of our favorite restaurants, Borrelli's in East Meadow for lunch). Anyway, this 237 had a number of issues that were preventing her from making the beautiful stitches of which she is so capable. I fixed her problems, rewired her motor, and gave her a modern, electronic foot controller. Singer 237 operator manual on my website: https://bobsvsmservice.com/wp-content...
