However, I can't budge the screw loose to loosed the plate. Any suggestions? <br />DoreenDoreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714898440122482388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26975001.post-56581235590301108422015-06-13T16:51:03.179-04:002015-06-13T16:51:03.179-04:00The 600 spool pin will fit on top, but it is too l...The 600 spool pin will fit on top, but it is too large in diameter to fit inside the machine in it's spot...I have looked for a spool pin for so long :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26975001.post-43732909392088630512015-03-24T21:44:13.793-04:002015-03-24T21:44:13.793-04:00Ed, does that 600 Singer spool pin work for your R...Ed, does that 600 Singer spool pin work for your Rocketeer? I was thinking about getting one for my 500A as the external one is missing. I picked up my 500A in practically museum condition a couple months ago in what looks like its original walnut cabinet for $4.99 at the local 2nd hand store here in Indiana. It works great, is in beautiful clean condition and I also picked up a 1954 Kenmore Rotary in beautiful condition and original wood cabinet for an extra $4.99! I was flabbergasted!!!

Amazingly it still had an external spool pin with it. It was on the outside stuck on it still. I had to attach the lid back on as someone had half dislodged it then I completely did at first, but then I got it to go back on. It seems to work fine except for needing a new light bulb.

In the meantime, I placed an auxiliary spool pin for a Singer 600 in my cart at my supplier, we'll see if that fits or not when it arrives. -EdAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057276731453019090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26975001.post-11146089114517860262014-07-21T13:21:11.328-04:002014-07-21T13:21:11.328-04:00Ed - do you know of a source for the auxiliary spo...Ed - do you know of a source for the auxiliary spool pin that will fit into the storage spot under the lid? Sew Classic has them but says that you can't close the lid when the pin is in the interior storage slot. I might as well continue using the one I got in an anonymous lot of Singer parts, it's the same result, I store it in the (GASP) Crown Royal bag that I put the foot controller in.
