Hi,
does anyone know how to align the needle post in a Singer 500 Rocketeer?
Mine is misaligned such that it touches the hook with every stitch. Zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing...
Thanks!

I do, but these machines very RARELY go out of swing alignment. Before trying that, the problem may be a gummed up or stuck needlebar or design selector. I recommend dowsing the innerds out with TriFlo or another penetrating lubricant, then giving it a good lubing with sewing machine oil.

Make sure you mop all the TriFlo up before oiling! :) And clean off any old dried up grease: replace with new when oiling.
