A friend was here to see my new shop table, a 1920s Singer commercial sewing machine table, refinished in epoxy.
I ran the Logan. He's a skilled shop guy, can do anything, is not a machinist. After listening for five seconds, he said "you have a gear that's off, let's see." So we opened it, he pinpointed what he thinks is the issue, a gear that is out of round, or a gear race out of round. It's in the video below. I can't tell if it's getting worse since I hear it all the time.
I'm hoping the video shows the issue; it's the center gear, I think. If anyone knows how, please let me know?
In the two photos, the large gear does not appear to be exactly aligned;
Also, please point me to what is wrong and how to fix it?
Many thanks, as always.
