Thank you for this video. I have a model 6690 that we bought in 1983. It's been wonderful until last time I turned it on and the connector socket started smoking. I suspect the power supply capacitor has burnt out. I could not figure out how to access it but this video showed me where the mystery screws are to remove the back cover. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video, it was a huge help! I recently found one of these on a flea market, for 10 NOK (around 1 USD), in a seemingly wonderful condition, but it has no foot pedal. Now I'm searching everywhere to find one so that I can test it to see if it's worth restoring. Seems to me it only needs a good cleaning, and to replace the fixed cam. I stupidly pulled out the A cam, and I might have broken an intact fixed cam 😵💫 That's what happens when you have no experience with these, but are curious 😵💫 This is probably a long shot, but I was wondering if you might now where to get a foot pedal for my machine, someplace that ships to Europe? 🫢 And would you clean the old lubricant on the inside, and put new lube there? 🤔
The internal cam is always broken on these machines. They will crack after some years. 100 % of them are broken. But there are new ones to put in, so it can be repaired. It might just have fallen apart when you took the A cam out, but it was not you who broke it. Dessa maskinerna är tillverkade i Sverige. Här finns det gott om begagnade delar och fotpedaler.

Thank you for your video. Recently I got hold of a similar model. It turns out that the lever that moves the tread up and down, had come loose because a small plastic part with a bushing had broken. I managed to get the part out. I see in the video that you have a service manual. Perhaps therein are part numbers as well. Any suggestions how I can get a new part and fix this machine?
Hi. Thanks for the video. I wanna do freehand embroidery with this machnie, do you know how the adjustment is? The needle just goes up and down and doesn't sew.
Hello I just acquired a beautiful 6000 series Viking machine. I live in NJ. Where would I take this to be repaired. It works but I’d like to get it serviced and cleaned. Any suggestions? Would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, Thanks for video. I got my Huscuvarna Classica 100, and it is sewing great. In the manual that comes with the machine it shows in diagram that machine has upper and lower thread cutters but I am unable to find upper thread cutter. Watched the videos about Classica and Optima and people are using scissors, Does your machine has thread cutters?
Hi I also am lookin for a foot pedal & power cord any help would be greatly appreciated . Wondering if it can be replaced somehow with a different one? I wrestled the back panel off which seems to be a challenge to do didnt berak it😂 the electric configuation is above my skill any help with that also would be great Thanks
Hey bro, you have your comments disabled on your SVX video for the fuel sending unit fix. Did you ever get it working? Mine is not working and I’m wondering what I need to do. Thank you!
I have a Viking 6000 Series model 6030. The machine needs work. I have the cams and operating manual, is there somewhere I could sell it in California?
Nice to see repair videos like this, but... 1. Get a tripod, this shake is making me sea sick. 2. No fingernail polish please! Those painted nails are very distracting as they flutter around. I tell this to women all the time. DIY videos need focus on DIY not hands, hair, nails, faces, or music. Wear gloves so we don't have that distraction. See it from the viewer point of view. 3. Better lighting for dark insides. Headlamp would work great. 4. Read the manual on your own time please. We are here to benefit from your expertise, not novice learning.
Thanks for this. Just bought a 6430 and getting it running again.
Me too I’m
In NJ and not tech savy. Is there anyplace I could get mine cleaned up and checked over?
Thank you for sharing this has been a great help
I was about to lose my mind trying to figure out how to get inside this machine I picked up on the curb 😅 thank you!!

I have that machine and have had it since1978. I wouldn't trade it for a new one
What a beautiful machine. I have a 5540. I wish mine had the handle like that.
Hi, what did you get the service manual?

By the way, sorry if I said wrong part names or something, I'm Norwegian and my technical English isn't all there 😵💫

Thanks for the heads up I'll adjust. But for the fuel sending units I actually had to find some new used ones from a junkyard on car hyphen parts.com
@@JeffersonDrumm Right on thank you! ✌️
Hey man, I have a few questions about the MEG in your previous videos.
If not, I’m willing to buy a replication of it
Thanks!

Buy a tripod so people can watch. Study pro movies.
