While I was recording the last video, the Singer 760 I was using stopped sewing all of a sudden.

What I thought was a thread jam was actually a broken hook gear.

I remove the hook and we get a good look at the broken gear and how it is attached to the hook.
At first I thought I would just use another hook from a spare 760 that's got a broken cam stack gear, but I have plans for that machine. The hook gear is not available at the moment because of Covid19 lockdown so I thought it would be a good idea to try and fix it.

All the pieces of the gear are accounted for so I have a go at piecing it together and using epoxy glue to repair it.

It looks like most of the gears are still available for these models.

The 700 series Singers are precision made in Germany and are beautiful and very functional, not to mention easy to use.
