Hello, TYI has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Totally lost. Thread breaks. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5741-Totally-lost-Thread-breaks Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** Aloha Merlin, this idea is way out there in 3rd base, but... have you checked your thread feed gear? Everyone reading this, I know its a bit far fetched, but I recently experienced the same problems and on a whim, I checked my gear and saw that there was a small break in the center hub. Once I replaced it, I was good to go. You asked for ideas, here's mine. Good Luck *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
