Hi Rod, 
Question about your question:
"Have the red pinch rollers and the thread feed rollers been taken out
and the rotating hubs and hub axles been greased?" 

As I parused the maintenance section of my Amaya manual, the rotating
hubs and hub axel greasing didn't seem to be in the scheduled
maintenance.  Did I overlook this?  I am not having threadbreak issues
with caps, but I just want to know more about the stuff that I can't
find printed in black and white.  I couldn't find mention of them in
the Index in the manual either.  So I don't even know what to look for.

Any more info appreciated, 
thanks ,
Peter
