stellar_muddleSo, having the appropriate oil, sat down and attacked the machine.
Opened up everything, delinted everything (including underneath), oiled in the appropriate places.
Reassembled with new needle, new thread (same in top and bottom).
Behaved worse.
So, played with bottom tension.
Huge loops on the base no matter what I did.
Started from basics and disassembled the top thread tensioner and reset from the begining. Redid the bottom thread tension to match.
~2 hours later, I have it back to okish but the thread tension changes and slips along the length of a 10cm test patch.
Arsery.
Z is home. I quit with the machine now.
