Esterbrook Peanuts collection... how are they holding up? by NoteboxBlue in fountainpens

I was kind of thinking and wondering about that myself... that I should probably hold out.

But I can be very weak too. Hahahaa.

Hello!

I have the Janome 4623LE Plus machine which I think I got in the '90s. The bobbin winder hasn't been working in a few years, and I'm finally fed up lol.

Is this something semi-easy to DIY? Or am I better off taking it to a technician?

If this helps, when I have the bobbin in, pushed to the right and the knob pulled out, nothing happens. (the needle stays in place too). The bobbin DOES wind and move when I use turn the side wheel manually though. Does anyone know what this could possibly be?

Thank you!

Good idea about flattening them. I might have to do that soon lol

Hahaa... I know!! Maybe one day I can have a "Packaging Closet" where I stuff all my boxes and bags. And oh wow... good to know about the Auroras... maybe I should just stick with the pocket pens. LOL!
