I just bought this exact model of machine, and giving it a once-over will be so much easier because of this excellent video! Well done!

Thanks Gary, super helpful, yet again! The Restore has restored another machine thanks to your video 😀

What a beautiful hand crank machine, well cared for.

Super helpful. Thank you.

Gorgeous machine! Nice to know there are still a few folks out there using these oldies.

Very clean and beautiful machine

No there is no check spring on the tension. It is a manual release so you should press it when threading. It does seem noisy and that is the same with the Jones CS I am cleaning up. A bit of play in the needle bar.

Off the top of my head, there's Manchester, Connecticut and Manchester, New Hampshire. (Sorry, but the question was asked.😅)

Linda maquina de costura, parabéns!

Thanks for sharing! I have one of these just waiting for me to get to it, this video was helpful!

I have worked on a few of these machines for friends Jones CS 1896? a very old style odd bobbin winder the path of the thread over a bar in front of the bobbin it is very odd. Roses decals Jones VS 1916? there is no back stitch Jones CS 1925? this has reverse stitch - the stitch length leaver casting allows further travel to the top of the machine to back stitch Interesting these machine do not have a top tension take up spring all the best

Hi Gary, thanks a lot for this video, who helped me a lot while servicing a Phoenix KI-10 found laying on the road. She works perfectly now! One question: did you know where in can find those special needles? The one on the machines is stamped with 12-80, and has the grooves like yours in the video. Thanks!

Very interesting. I would love to see how the bobbin winder works, is there a bobbin inside of the shuttle? It must have been tricky sewing with one hand.

hi im from george south africa i have a jones family c,s 510283 working condition clean and beautiful

So it seems there were multiple sewing machine manufacturers in Britain. Were the non-Singer companies consolidated as the American ones were by National Sewing Machine?

I’ve been following along on my D53A but the tension spring was mounted differently, please do you know if the spring was tensioned somehow - it did seem like it. Thank you
