If you look online you will find some you tube videos that are helpful even if they are about Singers or other brands of machines. This reminds me that I should probably clean and oil mine again for good measure.

It is same as yours, except double drawers on each side.

Make sure needle is in with the flat side facing to the right. Try joining the yahoo group Standard Sewing Company and asking for help there. There are many well educated people there that can better help you.

I have cleaned it up ( its still a bit grotty) sadly we dont have the cleaning products you used. I am having difficulty getting it to sew.. they thread seems to snap off ( top thread) and the bottom bobbin thread does not catch up . Also I have replaced the needle with a new needle and the bobbin with a new universal bobbin. Any help you can give will be most appreciated. I would love to get this going and use in my doll making and my art work.

Your problem may be the direction of the needle. Make sure your needle goes in with the flat side to the right.

All I did was buy a synthetic replacement belt and followed the directions I found online. You can cut the belt to the correct length for your machine. It is a pretty simple process and there are several You Tube videos that can walk you through it.Sew And Tell Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312577675053726156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899628249696818451.post-67362680188885798212014-07-01T20:31:24.085-07:002014-07-01T20:31:24.085-07:00I purchased my Standard in 2000 from the granddaug...I purchased my Standard in 2000 from the granddaughter of the original owner, had been in the family for a long time.

I...I have acquired a machine very similar to yours. I am having figuring out the tension assembly. The set spring on mine seems to be broken off at some point. The set spring is attached to a screw behind the faceplate of the machine and it seems it should protrude out of a space between the body of the machine and the face plate. I found photos online, but none are close up so I am still looking for help. Is it possible you could post a closeup photo of the tension assembly or could we converse by email?
