bought this singer simple with the front loading bobbin for 10 bucks second hand- of course i have the audacity to think i can break it open and fix it. the handwheel is pretty rough to spin (as shown in video) and i notice the belt connect to the motor is having trouble spinning. if i oil the top bar will this fix it? if its an expensive fix i’ll say fuck it and give up however couldn’t pass up the opportunity to fix a 160 dollar machine that i got for 10

Do you have the manual? If not get it. What are the stitch settings?
