Does anybody know why the green threading switch you push on top to thread film pops up sometimes it stays down and other times it pops up when i turn on the machine is there an adjustment somewhere inside? thanks [Smile]

Hi Jim
If you pull the vol and main swicth knobs off by pulling toward you, remove the three screws that hold that swicth cove plate on you will see the lond swicth with two copper contact plates behind there,its possible that these two plates are constantly touching eachother and need to be gently prised apart, the gap should be 0.5mm.If you would like any more info let me know

Hi Tom thanks for the info I managed to find the problem the screw that is right under it was loose ans since i have 2 of these machines I looked at that one and set it with that one noe it works like new, thanks for replying it may come in handy if this happens again. [Smile]
