Dear List, Just when we are the busiest our Amaya is making a noise that
doesn't sound good.  We thought we had it fixed but now after business
hours on Friday we are hearing rattles.  Just after Alan said, "we just
passed the 16 million stitch," things have started making strange
noises. About noon we were stitching on fleece and the rattling began
and continued to get so loud that we had to stop everything.  We took
the bobbin area apart, the plate off the back, the red side covers off
and the cover behind the bobbin off.  Each time we ran a few stitches
and used three different needles at low speeds and it continued.  We
removed the thread take-up cam covers and the noise seemed to go away
even at 1500 stitches per minute.  Alan indicated that they were loose
so we thought things were fine.  Use canned air in some places and
greased the cam with the polymer product in the thread take-up area and
put everything back together.  Finished the first blanket and moved to
the next one and now the rattle is back. Alan says it sounds like a
bearing going out in the motor drive area.  It sounds the loudest when
it is just starting up and is slow.  Can anyone give us a direction to
look?  Thank you so much for helping.
