Sewing Machine Repair #2- Clutch Bypass

 I was trying to repair my grandmother's old White 565 sewing machine with the bobbin winder that didn't work. I replaced the rubber o-ring, but the clutch was slipping. It was stuck partially engaged. There's probably a better way to fix the clutch, but I don't want to put much money into this repair. Having it looked at by a professional would cost more than half the price of a new low-end machine.

I used a piece of copper wire with a screw pressing it against the inside of the handwheel. This keeps the clutch permanently engaged without slipping (but can still slip if needed). The screw can be removed if I ever decide to have it professionally repaired.
