| I have no pictures of the insides of this machine, and no plans to disassemble it, since it is in such a good working condition. I would like to restore the exterior, but I tend to let it stay as it is, with all the apparent wear from many years of use. | I have no pictures of the insides of this machine, and no plans to disassemble it, since it is in such a good working condition.

| + | 28/02/2016: I noticed in a YouTube video that the operation of another machine was different from mine: to set the numbers, it should not be necessary to press the thumb button, as in my machine. I took out the cover, trying to find an adjustment. It turned out that there should be a pin inside the cradle for the crank. This pin would push the thumb lever to the left, as in the YouTube machine. This part was missing in my machine. I replaced it easily with a flat-top screw cut to size. This detail also made the back transfer mechanism work correctly. | ||
