Thanks Kate!
As usual, you are a wealth of info which is sorely appreciated!
I MAY have found the problem. If this is it then it is my own silliness.
After going through the manual ( LOL, RTFD) I may have the wrong needles in it. I was using Schmetz Universal 130/705 H 15x1 H 80/12.
What the OM calls for is HA x 1SP or HA x1 (130/705H)
My question... is there a difference between the H and the HA?


Err... I *think* so. but I'm not sure what.

It's quite likely that if this is an older, pre-loved serger, that it uses something normally found on an industrial machine. The Huskylock and other modern machines use the standard 130/705 needle. But order some of the ones in the manual and try them: if they work, you know to use the right ones, and (possibly!) keep some in stock to use this as a back-up machine for the new one! ;P
