I was working on repairing my grandmother's old White 565 sewing machine. The bobbin winder didn't work. The rubber o-ring that provides the friction to engage the bobbin winder had crumbled. Like any really old tire, it dry rotted.
This type of rubber ring is used by many sewing machine models, so it might not be that difficult to buy a new one. But I found a different solution using what I already had- Lego tires!
I found a tire that was the right size, popped it on, and now the bobbin winder works. The tire I used is part number 2346 which might be the same as 56897.
