Husqvarna 6230 continued

Anyone who has been following this blog since my first post may remember that it concerned a Husqvarna 6230.  

At the time I raised concerns about the cracks in the cams, which were quite substantial.  When I came to sew with it I found that the machine was swapping which stitch it did on which setting, a sure sign you have cam issues.  When the cam stack was removed the two cracked black cams literally dropped to pieces.  It would appear that the plastic shrank and cracked because when reassembled the cams won't fit around the shaft they are supposed to.

Not a healthy cam!

If anyone is considering buying one of these machines, make sure the gears and cams are all intact, plastic is dodgy!!
