Hadn't done anything to it in 20 years, so clearly some oil was the answer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273291630193823134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604403499576985528.post-7264460149581268772021-01-19T15:57:19.366+13:002021-01-19T15:57:19.366+13:00Thanks for posting this!

Even had it looked a by a sewing repairman. He said it couldn't be repaired. Going through my old sewing supplies I ran across that foot. Thanks to you I think I can get it working again. I have a really old 830. And I still love it. I got it as a graduation gift in 1975. Still going strong.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458195683748464350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604403499576985528.post-49076677090049707872018-10-31T11:17:45.127+13:002018-10-31T11:17:45.127+13:00Hmmm, sounds gnarly!

My husband is a fitter and turner and when he grinds metal it produces a fine black/grey metal dust. I would clean and oil the foot as best you can and then give it another go for a while. If it keeps producing this dust, you might want to get it professionally looked at - I'm not a machine technician, so please take that into consideration when reading this! :-)Charlotte Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696100659597422648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604403499576985528.post-43725676218762580172018-10-29T06:29:55.601+13:002018-10-29T06:29:55.601+13:00I'm trying to get some answers...my walking fo...I'm trying to get some answers...my walking foot is leaking dry black soot or something. I took it off the machine and banged it a bit on the counter and all this black soot/dry grease came out. Should the walking foot be cleaned too? or will the oiling take care of the mess?WalkingMissMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436798653190787114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604403499576985528.post-24100720903436618982017-07-09T04:48:20.476+12:002017-07-09T04:48:20.476+12:00Thank you for sharing!
