had our big red totally serviced only a couple weeks ago, and pointed out an 
audible 'errr   errrr  errrr' sound from behind
the needle head. Tech said it was normal...today, we're running fleece 
hats-have only done about 30 items since overhaul...and in the middle of one 
hat-that 'errr' suddenly became 'ERRRR ERRRR ERRRR' very metallic-I hit E stop, 
slowed it down from 1200 to 700 to try and finish the hat-started it up, and no 
noise at that speed. Window came up-rotary hook maintenance so Sue did that as 
soon as the hat was done.
Ran a test, started it at 700 and brought it up to 1300 and no noise. I did 
check the bobbin area-and I can put my finger on the 
bobbin 'shaft' and get movement and slight 'clunkclunk'.
Is there a bearing going in behind there-that oiling is keeping under control 
that should be replaced? hate to call Brian back up here if just more frequent 
hook oiling will take care of.
Also, is there a way to reset the 'timer' for rotary hook maintenance so we 
have to do it more often? If that's the problem then it's the hot air heater 
drying it out.
