My Calanda had some margin problems too. I opened it up and figured out that a spring had come disconnected.
I've come to the conclusion that the easiest and most reliable margin system is the good ol' "slide the stops over with your finger" method. But the more complicated systems like this one are fun—when they work.
Sleek-lookin'! :D
ReplyDeleteIs it not even as good as a Patria?
Unfortunately my Swissa wasn't in that good shape so I couldn't make a good comparison!
DeletePerhaps I'm a bit harsh on the ol' Calanda... I haven't been typing much lately so I just feel like I'd rather be using an Erika instead. :P
Nice to see this post, with great photos.

At long last! I have a couple machines photographed and sitting around, just waiting for their time in the spotlight.

Yep, I wholeheartedly agree.
Stylish but primitive, especially the feet.
ReplyDeleteStylish, primitive, and creative (sometimes unnecessarily so) are the words I'd describe this with!
