[amayausers] Re: Identify a sound

Rod,
No, I haven't checked that but I wil. My machine is less than a year old and 
I have not replaced any parts on my machine other than thread feed rollers. 
I sure hope there is a Melco tech in MN in case I need to have one come and 
take a look at my machine. Where you the tech that helped Jack Fuller with 
the problem he was having with his machine? Thanks for the tip and I'll let 
you know when the issue is resolved and what the problem turns out to be.
