where the Stitch and Community matter®
My newest "Shelf Queen".
I just received another machine Model 60W, SN # 19024 which was built somewhere between 1916 and 1919.
If I can figure out the threading I'll see if it actually works. After a good oiling it runs smooth as a watch. Just amazing. I love these machines.
Anyone have an older machine that still runs?
Gee, are there even any other collectors out there?

Hi Robyn and thanks.
The machine is a 3 thread and the 3 thread diagram you sent seem to be corrupt in some way and will not open.
Could you please resend it?
Also, are there any parts still available for this old bugger?
In transit, the lower tension screw got bent and I know because of it's hardness it wont straighten out. In fact it's already broken. As close as I can tell it is a 6-113-A Tension Rod. Maybe you have an old one laying around?
It is threaded on both ends. One end for the housing and the other for the tension adjustment knobs.
Thanks,
Mike

Charlie, Any chance you can upload a better video on how to set the loopers? I was having issues tonight. The machine would make a chain like a champ but as soon as put a patch on the machine the upper looper thread would break. Many times many times. I figured it was an adjustment issue. I tried to adjust the lower looper so that the point was slightly above the eye of the needle. This required an adjustment of the upper looper and when adjusting the upper looper it snapped in two.

Linda Chan replied to Linda Chan's discussion 'New' old Merrow 60w"Hello Charlie,
I have left messages with Hoffman Brothers and have not received a response as of yet. I have, however, found that the bubbler on the machine was just loose and that is why it was leaking. It still does not sew properly. Do you know…"
