Question Mother illness kept machine idle for about 2 years.
Yesterday She try to use it, put good bobbin in, try to get bobbing thread up to sew but the wheel wont turn enough to get needle all the way down to catch thread.
Read all your recent Answers and checked with http://www.tandtrepair.com but can't find any information.
Mom have the machine since she bough it and not been used much as she's not a seamstress, most of the use is been to patch and shorten 3 boys pants and never had any problems.
I look and see that does not have caked oil or grease in under part, is clean, not dust bunnies and is oiled OK.
Sir: What do you think is the problem?.
Can you help?.
Sincerely Willard.
Answer Hi! Chances are your 750 has a broken plastic gear or gears. In the mid-1960s Singer changed from the super-strength steel gears to the plastic (nylon) ones. They claimed it made the machines more quiet which it did. They had no way of knowing that in 40 or so years those gears would rot and have to be replaced.
You can replace them, but it's a big job for someone who has never done it before. Here are a couple of websites about the Singer 750. Bill Eaton. Old Singer Man.
