I am a 42 year Master Technician. I am semi-retired and work from my home in Portsmouth. I can refurbish your domestic mechanical sewing machine for $100 + any parts it might need ( more for European machines or walking foot machines). Includes refurbishing your machine's motor. >
Refurbishing includes:

A "Sewing Machine Steve" refurbished machine has gone through the following extensive process:

1. Selection

2. Disassembly

3. Thorough cleaning both in & out

4. Check mechanical tolerances to manufacturer's specification

5. Check condition of gears and replace as necessary

6. Grease gears and lubricate per factory specifications

7. Check and replace drive and timing belts as necessary

8. Disassemble,clean, and index upper tension assembly

9. Check electrical wiring, switches, and foot/knee controller and replace as required

10. Disassemble motor, check and clean brushes, polish armature, lubricate, inspect wiring and repair as needed (optional).

11. Inspect oscillating hook, feed dog assembly and drive, bobbin case, presser foot assembly, needle bar assembly, zigzag drive system, cam stack and drive (if so equipped), main drive shaft, and clutch

12. Re-assemble machine and all sub systems including bobbin winding system and sewing lamp

13. Set initial upper and lower tension, time needle and oscillating hook, and time feed dogs.

14. Test sew and fine tune all systems

15. Twenty minute test sew of all built in stitches with no. 11 needle and cotton thread

THIS PROCESS INCLUDES FAR MORE THAN A SEWING/VACUUM CLEANER SHOP WOULD DO.
